Description and Table of Contents

Description

This book aims to provide a clear account of basic manifold theory and global analysis. It starts with a review of the relevant parts of vector space theory and covers basic analytical topology, thus providing sufficient background information to enable students of both mathematics and physics to make full use of the text. Numerous worked and unworked examples are included.

Table of Contents
