e-books in Introductory Differential Geometry category

Differential Geometry: A Geometric Introduction
by David W. Henderson - Project Euclid , 2013
This is the only book that introduces differential geometry through a combination of an intuitive geometric foundation, a rigorous connection with the standard formalisms, computer exercises with Maple, and a problems-based approach.

Differential Geometry Of Three Dimensions
by C.E. Weatherburn - Cambridge University Press , 1955
The book is devoted to differential invariants for a surface and their applications. By the use of vector methods the presentation is both simplified and condensed, and students are encouraged to reason geometrically rather than analytically.

Elementary Differential Geometry
by Gilbert Weinstein - UAB , 2009
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 a concrete picture.

Notes on Differential Geometry
by Noel J. Hicks - Van Nostrand , 1965
A concise introduction to differential geometry. The ten chapters of Hicks' book contain most of the mathematics that has become the standard background for not only differential geometry, but also much of modern theoretical physics and cosmology.

Differential Geometry in Physics
by Gabriel Lugo - University of North Carolina at Wilmington , 2006
These notes were developed as a supplement to a course on Differential Geometry at the advanced undergraduate level, which the author has taught. This texts has an early introduction to differential forms and their applications to Physics.

Course of Differential Geometry
by Ruslan Sharipov - Samizdat Press , 2004
Textbook for the first course of differential geometry. It covers the theory of curves in three-dimensional Euclidean space, the vectorial analysis both in Cartesian and curvilinear coordinates, and the theory of surfaces in the space E.

Introduction to Differential Geometry and General Relativity
by Stefan Waner , 2005
Smooth manifolds and scalar fields, tangent vectors, contravariant and covariant vector fields, tensor fields, Riemannian manifolds, locally Minkowskian manifolds, covariant differentiation, the Riemann curvature tensor, premises of general relativity.

Differentiable Manifolds
by Nigel Hitchin , 2003
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.

Tensor Analysis
by Edward Nelson - Princeton Univ Pr , 1974
The lecture notes for the first part of a one-term course on differential geometry given at Princeton in the spring of 1967. They are an expository account of the formal algebraic aspects of tensor analysis using both modern and classical notations.
