Description for An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry
Paperback. Series: Universitext. Num Pages: 467 pages, 60 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBMP; PHD; PHR; PHU. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 157 x 226 x 25. Weight in Grams: 666.
Unlike many other texts on differential geometry, this textbook also offers interesting applications to geometric mechanics and general relativity.
The first part is a concise and self-contained introduction to the basics of manifolds, differential forms, metrics and curvature. The second part studies applications to mechanics and relativity including the proofs of the Hawking and Penrose singularity theorems. It can be independently used for one-semester courses in either of these subjects.
The main ideas are illustrated and further developed by numerous examples and over 300 exercises. Detailed solutions are provided for many of these exercises, making An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry ideal for ... Read more

Reviews for An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry
From the book reviews: “The aim of the textbook is twofold. First, it is a concise and self-contained quick introduction to the basics of differential geometry, including differential forms, followed by the main ideas of Riemannian geometry. Second, the last two chapters are devoted to some interesting applications to geometric mechanics and relativity. … the book is well written ... Read more
