Additional information
by Serge Lang (Author)
This book gives an introduction to the basic concepts which are used in differential topology, differential geometry, and differential equations. The author's book, Fundamentals of Differential Geometry, can be viewed as a continuation of the present book. Since this book is intended as a text to follow advanced calculus, manifolds are assumed finite dimensional. The author has made numerous corrections to this new edition, and he has also added a chapter on applications of Stokes' Theorem.
Back Jacket
This book contains essential material that every graduate student must know. Written with Serge Lang's inimitable wit and clarity, the volume introduces the reader to manifolds, differential forms, Darboux's theorem, Frobenius, and all the central features of the foundations of differential geometry. Lang lays the basis for further study in geometric analysis, and provides a solid resource in the techniques of differential topology. The book will have a key position on my shelf.
