– Analysis and geometry on manifolds –
|
|
This course is a BMS basic course and the lectures will be in English. Please feel free to ask any questions (and to turn in any work) in English or German.
News
- There will be no lecture on 6 and 7 February. The homework can be turned in before the tutorial on 8 February.
- Corrected sign error in 1. exercise of the 6. sheet.
- Unfortunately, there are not enough participants to have two tutorials this semester. The tutorial on Thursday is thus cancelled.
Contents
Differentiable manifolds, vector bundles, differential forms, Riemannian geometry.
