A good creation to the tools of differential geometry and tensor calculus, this quantity is appropriate for complex undergraduate and graduate scholars of arithmetic, physics, and engineering. instead of a complete account, it deals an creation to the basic principles and strategies of differential geometry.
Part 1 starts through applying vector easy methods to discover the classical thought of curves and surfaces. An creation to the differential geometry of surfaces within the huge presents scholars with rules and methods interested in international learn. half 2 introduces the idea that of a tensor, first in algebra, then in calculus. It covers the fundamental concept of absolutely the calculus and the basics of Riemannian geometry. labored examples and workouts look in the course of the text.
