Introduction to Differentiable Manifolds

by Louis Auslander, Robert E. MacKenzie

Overview

The first book to treat manifold theory at an introductory level, this text presents basic concepts in the modern approach to differential geometry. The first six chapters define and illustrate differentiable manifolds. The final four chapters investigate the roles of differential structures in a variety of situations. 1963 edition.
