However, your lowest homework grade will be dropped. It is a great place to see what Riemannian geometry is all about, and also to get further intuition about basic concepts there are several hundred figures and innumerable examples.
Ma 157a, Introduction to Riemannian Geometry
It contains nontrivial exercises with full solutions at the end. Texts I will not be following any particular text closely, and there is no required text for this course. No HW due Friday, Feb Here are three sources that I’ll be drawing on, all of which will be on reserve at Millikan library.
The course will be followed in Spring by Mab which will cover more advanced topics in Riemannian geometry. Due Friday, March 9. The following book is a nice elementary account of this. Ma bc is not needed.

Boothby, An introduction to differentiable manifolds and Riemannian geometryAcademic Press. D Baby Lie groups. The book continues to be an excellent choice for an introduction to the central ideas of Riemannian geometry. As examples, the course will emphasize things like spaces of constant curvature Euclidean, spherical, and hyperbolic geometryGrassmanians, Lie groups, and symmetric spaces. Prices are subject to change without notice. B The tangent bundle.
This is not a textbook which carefully covers foundations of the field, but an page attempt to survey all of modern Riemannian geometry.
The behavior of length and energy in the neighborhood of a geodesic. This book, based on a graduate course on Riemannian geometryand analysis onmanifolds, given in Paris, covers the topicsof differential manifolds, Riemannian metrics, connections,geodesics and curvature, with special emphasis on theintrinsic features on the subject. The book is quite self-contained, assuming of the reader only differential calculus in Euclidean space. It containsnumerous exercises with full solutions and a series ofdetailed examples which are picked up again repeatedly toillustrate each new definition or property introduced.
Application to Riemannian submersions. Due Friday, Feb 2.
Prerequisites A background in the basic topology of smooth manifolds e. Borzellino, Mathematical Reviews, “This book based on graduate course on Riemannian geometry Please call the relevant shop for the most current stock information. If you won’t be in class on Friday, turn your homework into my box outside the math department office at least 15 minutes prior to the start of class; late-but-not-too-late HW can be put in the same place. This gemetry of view is based on comparing geodesic triangles in your metric space with triangles in model geometries like the Euclidean plane and the round 2-sphere.
The course will begin with an overview of Riemannian manifolds including such basics as geodesics, curvature, and the exponential map. In particular, it is possible to talk about a general path metric space with curvature bounded above or below. F Manifolds with constant hulib curvature. Rieannian up to receive our emails. Properties are always illustrated by many detailed examples.
Or just riemaninan by — even if I can’t talk to you then, we’ll set up a time to meet. If you are interested in taking this course but can’t make the time slot, please let me know; I will try to change the time to accommodate as many students as possible, subject to my own schedule and room availability.

The exercises are spread throughout the text. A From submanifolds to abstract manifolds. The bookis quiteself-contained, assuming of the reader only a knowledge ofdifferential calculus in Euclidean laontaine.
