MATH-322: Differential geometry II - smooth manifolds
Summary
Smooth manifolds constitute a certain class of topological spaces which locally look like some Euclidean space R^n and on which one can do calculus. We introduce the key concepts of this subject, such as vector fields, differential forms, etc.
