From the preface:Many years have passed since the first edition. However, the encouragements of various readers and friends have persuaded us to write this third edition. During these years, Riemannian Geometry has undergone many dramatic developments. Here is not the place to relate them. The reader can consult for instance the recent book [Br5]. of our “mentor” Marcel Berger. However, Riemannian Geometry is not only a fascinating field in itself. It has proved to be a precious tool in other parts of mathematics. In this respect, we can quote the major breakthroughs in four-dimensional topology which occurred in the eighties ... Read more

Reviews for Riemannian Geometry
From the reviews of the third edition: "This new edition maintains the clear written style of the original, including many illustrations … examples and exercises (most with solutions)." (Joseph E. Borzellino, Mathematical Reviews, 2005) "This book based on graduate course on Riemannian geometry … covers the topics of differential manifolds, Riemannian metrics, connections, ... Read more
