Elementary Differential Geometry
by Gilbert Weinstein
Publisher: UAB 2009
Number of pages: 62
Description:
These notes are for a beginning graduate level course in differential geometry. It is assumed that this is the students' first course in the subject. Thus the choice of subjects and presentation has been made to facilitate as much as possible a concrete picture.

Differentiable Manifoldsby Nigel Hitchin
The historical driving force of the theory of manifolds was General Relativity, where the manifold is four-dimensional spacetime, wormholes and all. This text is occupied with the theory of differential forms and the exterior derivative.
