An introduction to Riemannian geometry

An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry

✍ C. E. Weatherburn 📂 Library 📅 2008 🏛 Cambridge University Press 🌐 English ⚖ 500 KB

The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between differential geometry of Euclidean space of three dimensions and the more advanced work on differential geometry of generalised space. The subject is treated with the aid of the Tensor Calculus, which is associated with the names of Ricci and Lev

An Introduction to Riemannian Geometry

✍ Gudmundsson S. 📂 Library 📅 2004 🌐 English ⚖ 429 KB

These lecture notes grew out of an M.Sc. course on differential geometry which I gave at the University of Leeds 1992. Their main purpose is to introduce the beautiful theory of Riemannian Geometry a still very active research area of mathematics. This is a subject with no lack of interesting exampl

The second edition of this text has sold over 6,000 copies since publication in 1986 and this revision will make it even more useful. This is the only book available that is approachable by "beginners" in this subject. It has become an essential introduction to the subject for mathematics students,

✍ Isaac Chavel 📂 Library 📅 2006 🏛 Cambridge University Press 🌐 English ⚖ 2 MB

Requiring only an understanding of differentiable manifolds, Isaac Chavel covers introductory ideas followed by a selection of more specialized topics in this second edition. He provides a clearer treatment of many topics, with new proofs of some theorems and a new chapter on the Riemannian geometr

Riemannian Geometry: A Modern Introduction

✍ Chavel I. 📂 Library 📅 2006 🌐 English ⚖ 3 MB

This book provides an introduction to Riemannian geometry, the geometry of curved spaces. Its main theme is the effect of the curvature of these spaces on the usual notions of geometry - distances, areas, and volumes - and on those new notions and ideas motivated by curvature itself. Among the more
