This book is meant for a one year course in Riemannian Geometry. The approach the author has taken deviates in some ways from the standard path. Instead of discussing variational calculus, the author introduces a more elementary approach which simply uses standard calculus together with some tec
Intended for a one year course, this volume serves as a single source, introducing students to the important techniques and theorems, while also containing enough background on advanced topics to appeal to those students wishing to specialize in Riemannian geometry. This is one of the few works to c
In his classic work of geometry, Euclid focused on the properties of flat surfaces. In the age of exploration, mapmakers such as Mercator had to concern themselves with the properties of spherical surfaces. The study of curved surfaces, or non-Euclidean geometry, flowered in the late nineteenth cent
