M4P52 Manifolds, Autumn 2017 - Imperial College London.
Chapter 1 Smooth Manifolds This book is about smooth manifolds. In the simplest terms, these are spaces that locally look like some Euclidean space Rn, and on which one can do calculus. The most familiar examples, aside from Euclidean spaces themselves, are smooth plane curves such as circles and parabolas, and smooth surfaces such as spheres, tori, paraboloids, ellipsoids, and hyperboloids.

Introduction to Smooth Manifolds by John M. Lee. Second Edition, Springer 2013. Library link here. Lee’s book is very polished and has a greater variety of problems than Tu’s. It may also be more detailed; for this reason, you may find it helpful to have it close to hand, should the explanations of the official text (or my own!) not be sufficient. But I don’t intend to refer to it in.

Introduction to (smooth) Manifolds Manifolds, the higher-dimensional analogs of smooth curves and surfaces, are fundamental objects in modern mathematics. Combining aspects of algebra, topology, and analysis, manifolds have also been applied to classical mechanics, general relativity, and quantum field theory. The aim of this course is to get aquainted with the basic theory and lots of.
