内容简介

Compact, self-contained text by noted theorist presents the most fundamental aspects of modern differential geometry as well as the basic tools required for the study of Morse theory. Advanced treatment; analytical rather than topological aspects of Morse theory emphasized. Discusses smooth manifolds, spaces of affine connection, Riemannian spaces, more. 1967 edition.
