Course content
Differential geometry is a mathematical discipline that uses the techniques of differential calculus and integral calculus to study problems in geometry. This course aims to learn about Riemannian manifolds, complex manifolds, their connections and curvatures. The course will also introduce some applications.
Purpose of class
The object of this course is to understand fundamental concepts of Riemannian manifolds and to be able to calculate some connections and there curvatures.
Goals and objectives
  1. To be able to construct an atlas of sphere
  2. To be able to show some examples of Riemannian manifolds and their metrics
  3. To be able to calculate Christoffel symbols and there curvatures from a Riemannian metric
