Lecture
Distance and geodesics: Distance, geodesics and complete manifolds
Description
This lecture covers the concept of distance induced by the Riemannian metric on manifolds, defining it as the length of smooth curve segments. It explains how this distance defines a metric space when the manifold is connected, and how geodesics are minimizing curves between points.
