MATH 443 — Differential Geometry-Prerequisite MATH 355
Mathematics · University of Ghana
The modern approach to differential geometry uses the language of manifolds. This provides a theory and a variable free notation which frees us from always having to consider the coordinate system. We want to be able to deal with the elements of calculus both invariantly (i.e. independently of the local coordinates) and intrinsically (i.e. independently of the way a geometric object is embedded in Euclidean space). But to appreciate the great contribution to differential geometry made by the theory of manifolds, we will first study classical differential geometry and then a little of the modern approach.
