| This book is an introduction to manifolds at the beginning graduate level:It contains the essential topological ideas that are needed for the furtherstudy of manifolds, particularly in the context of differential geometry,algebraic topology, and related fields£?Its guiding philosophy is to develop these ideas rigorously but economically, with minimal prerequisites and plenty of geometric intuition. Here at the University of Washington, for example, this text is used for the first third of a year-long course on the geometry and topology of anifolds; the remaining two-thirds focuses on smooth manifolds. 此书为英文版! |
