โฆ Synopsis
This book represents course notes for a one semester course at the undergraduate level giving an introduction to Riemannian geometry and its principal physical application, Einstein's theory of general relativity. The background assumed is a good grounding in linear algebra and in advanced calculus, preferably in thelanguage of differential forms.
