Description

Differential geometry in 1, 2, 3 and more dimensions.
Imagine an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold and then set n=1, 2, 3, 4+.

Prerequisites: Come as you are. Understanding the notion of a differentiable manifold is assumed though.

Consequences: To embrace the mightiness of general relativity prepared thou shall be.

Key words: Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, metric tensor, connection, covariant derivative, curvature.
