A First Course in Geometric Topology and Differential Geometry (Modern Birkhäuser Classics) by Ethan D. Bloch Hardcover, 421 Pages, Published 1996 ISBN-10: 0-8176-3840-7 / 0817638407 ISBN-13: 978-0-8176-3840-5 / 9780817638405 The uniqueness of this text in combining geometric topology and differential geometry lies in its unifying thread: the notion of a surface. With numerous illustrations, exercises and examples, the student comes to understand the relationship between modern axiomatic approach and geometric intuition. |
