Course Objective

The aim of this course is to introduce concepts of differential geometry in an advance way and make the students familiar with them. (It is supposed that, the students took an undergraduate differential geometry course or they are familiar with the local theory of curves of surfaces.)

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   will be able to describe what is a manifold.
2   will be able to use linear tangent mapping.
3   will be able to compute curvature and torsion of a connection.
4   will be able to describe geodesics on a manifold.
5   will be able to use differential forms.
