An Introduction to Differentiable Manifolds and Riemannian Geometry, Revised (Volume 120)

by William M. Boothby

The second edition of An Introduction to Differentiable Manifolds and Riemannian Geometry, Revised has sold over 6,000 copies since publication in 1986 and this revision will make it even more useful. This is the only book available that is approachable by "beginners" in this subject. It has become an essential introduction to the subject for mathematics students, engineers, physicists, and economists who need to learn how to apply these vital methods. It is also the only book that thoroughly reviews certain areas of advanced calculus that are necessary to understand the subject.

I did not read all of it. A lot of material is left to the reader. The author assumes the reader will be able to provide most of the details to his sketchy proof or at times no proof is provided.
