KurzbeschreibungThis will be an introductory course in differential geometry.

Topics covered include:

- Smooth manifolds, submanifolds, vector fields,
- Lie groups, homogeneous spaces,
- Vector bundles, tensor fields, differential forms,
- Integration on manifolds and the de Rham theorem,
- Principal bundles.

LiteraturThere are many excellent textbooks on differential geometry. A friendly and readable book that covers everything in Differential Geometry I is:

John M. Lee "Introduction to Smooth Manifolds" 2nd ed. (2012) Springer-Verlag.

A more advanced (and far less friendly) series of books that covers everything in both Differential Geometry I and II is:

S. Kobayashi, K. Nomizu "Foundations of Differential Geometry" Volumes I and II (1963, 1969) Wiley.
