pstrongemDifferential Geometry of Manifolds, Second Editionemstrong presents the extension of differential geometry from curves and surfaces to manifolds in general. The book provides a broad introduction to the field of differentiable and Riemannian manifolds, tying together classical and modern formulations. It introduces manifolds in a both streamlined and mathematically rigorous way while keeping a view toward applications, particularly in physics. ppThe author takes a practical approach, containing extensive exercises and focusing on applications, including the Hamiltonian formulations of mechanics, electromagnetism, string theory. ppThe Second Edition of this successful textbook offers several notable points of revision.ppNew to the Second Edition pul p p liNew problems have been added and the level of challenge has been changed to the exercisesli p p liEach section corresponds to a 60-minute lecture period, making it more user-friendly for lecturersli p p liIncludes new sections
