Here is a cute article by Terrence Tao on gauges:

A gauge transformation is essentially a change of coordinates which is usually done to simplify whatever problem you are trying to solve. These "coordinates" aren't your usual x, y, and z, but something a bit more abstract, but still can be understood geometrically. I find it unfortunate that E&M textbooks don't discuss the geometry of gauges... I like "An Elementary Primer for Gauge Theory" by Moriyasu:
