Analysis and Algebra on Differentiable Manifolds: A Workbook for Students and Teachers

This book is a collection of 375 completely solved exercises on differentiable manifolds, Lie groups, fibre bundles, and Riemannian manifolds. The exercises go from elementary computations to rather sophisticated tools. It is the first book consisting of completely solved problems on differentiable manifolds, and therefore will be a complement to the books on theory. A 42-page formulary is included which will be useful as an aide-mémoire, especially for teachers and researchers on these topics. The book includes 50 figures. A CD-ROM with Professor Angel Montesinos's application, "Superficies", is also included. Audience: The book will be useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of mathematics, theoretical physics, and some branches of engineering.
