One of the most widely used texts in its field, this volume has been continuously in print since its initial 1976 publication. The clear, well-written exposition is enhanced by many examples and exercises, some with hints and answers. Prerequisites include an undergraduate course in linear algebra and some familiarity with the calculus of several variables.
Manfredo P. do Carmo is a Brazilian mathematician and authority in the very active field of differential geometry. He is an emeritus researcher at Rio's National Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics and the author of Differential Forms and Applications.
