The book begins with background on linear and multilinear algebra, general topology, and real analysis. This is followed by material on the classical theory of curves and surfaces, expanded to include both the Lorentz and Euclidean signatures. The remainder of the book is devoted to a discussion of smooth manifolds, smooth manifolds with boundary, smooth manifolds with a connection, semi-Riemannian manifolds, and differential operators, culminating in applications to Maxwell's equations and the Einstein tensor. Many worked examples and detailed diagrams are provided to aid understanding. This book will appeal especially to physics students wishing to learn more differential geometry than is usually provided in texts on general relativity. STEPHEN C. NEWMAN is Professor Emeritus at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. He is the author of Biostatistical Methods in Epidemiology and A Classical Introduction to Galois Theory, both published by Wiley. 588 Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. 590 O'Reilly|bO'Reilly Online Learning: Academic/Public Library Edition 650 0 Semi-Riemannian geometry. 650 0 Geometry, Riemannian. 650 0 Manifolds (Mathematics) 650 0 Geometry, Differential. 650 6 Géométrie de Riemann. 650 6 Variétés (Mathématiques) 650 6 Géométrie différentielle. 650 7 Geometry, Differential|2fast 650 7 Geometry, Riemannian|2fast 650 7 Manifolds (Mathematics)|2fast 650 7 Semi-Riemannian geometry|2fast 776 08 |iPrint version:|aNewman, Stephen C., 1952- author.|tSemi- Riemannian geometry|dHoboken, New Jersey : Wiley, [2019] |z9781119517535|w(DLC) 2019011644 856 40 |uhttps://ezproxy.naperville-lib.org/login?url=https:// learning.oreilly.com/library/view/~/9781119517535/?ar |zAvailalbe on O'Reilly for Public Libraries 938 YBP Library Services|bYANK|n300707491 938 Recorded Books, LLC|bRECE|nrbeEB00764694 938 EBSCOhost|bEBSC|n2196611 938 ProQuest Ebook Central|bEBLB|nEBL5825594 938 Askews and Holts Library Services|bASKH|nAH35878887 994 92|bJFN
