Description
Introduction to Riemannian Manifolds by John M. Lee is a graduate-level textbook designed for a one or two semester course on Riemannian geometry. The second edition has been updated to provide a comprehensive introduction to the subject, focusing on the geometric meaning of curvature. The book covers essential tools for working with Riemannian metrics, including connections and geodesics, and introduces new topics such as pseudo-Riemannian metrics and comparison theory based on Riccati equations. With numerous exercises and problem sets, this text aims to develop tools and intuition for studying the central theme in Riemannian geometry.
