21.10. The tuesday tutorial will be from 16:00-17:30 in MA 212. The first exercise sheet is online.
09.09. The tutorials start in the second week (October 22nd).
ContentsDifferentiable manifolds, Vector bundles, Differential forms, Riemannian geometry.
The course Differential Geometry I (Curves and Surfaces) is not strictly a
prerequisite for this course. It gives useful geometric insight on the
lower dimensional cases but is logically independent – the courses
can be taken in either order.
