Skript | I will produce full lecture notes, available on my website at Link |
Literatur | There 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. |
