Functional Differential Geometry
by Gerald Jay Sussman, Jack Wisdom
Publisher: MIT 2005
Number of pages: 77
Description:
Differential geometry is deceptively simple. It is surprisingly easy to get the right answer with unclear and informal symbol manipulation. To address this problem we use computer programs to communicate a precise understanding of the computations in differential geometry.
