Description
Riemannian Geometry by Manfredo Perdigao do Carmo is an expanded edition of a highly acclaimed textbook for first-year graduate students in mathematics and physics. This comprehensive guide presents the fundamental language of Riemannian geometry, covering its most important theorems from the outset. The book's structure begins with the definition of a differentiable manifold and builds towards one of the most significant results in Riemannian geometry - a proof of the Sphere Theorem. With an abundance of basic definitions, theorems, examples, applications, and exercises, this text provides a solid foundation for students to test their understanding and extend their knowledge. Suitable for a wide range of students and course structures, Riemannian Geometry is considered a significant contribution to this highly applicable subject.
