Description

The basics of differentiable manifolds, global calculus, differential geometry, and related topics constitute a core of information essential for the first or second year graduate student preparing for advanced courses and seminars in differential topology and geometry. Differentiable Manifolds is a text designed to cover this material in a careful and sufficiently detailed manner, presupposing only a good foundation in general topology, calculus, and modern algebra. This second edition contains a significant amount of new material, which, in addition to classroom use, will make it a useful reference text. Topics that can be omitted safely in a first course are clearly marked, making this edition easier to use for such a course, as well as for private study by non-specialists.

Description

This text is based on the full-year PhD qualifying course on differentiable manifolds, global calculus, differential geometry and related topics, given by the author at Washington University. It presupposes a good grounding in general topology and modern algebra, especially linear algebra and analogous theory of modules over a commutative, unitary ring.
