Tensor Geometry: The Geometric Viewpoint and its Uses

Graduate Texts in Mathematics #130

by C.T.J. Dodson, Timothy Poston

This treatment of differential geometry and the mathematics required for general relativity makes the subject accessible, for the first time, to anyone familiar with elementary calculus in one variable and with some knowledge of vector algebra. The emphasis throughout is on the geometry of the mathematics, which is greatly enhanced by the many illustrations presenting figures of three and more dimensions as closely as the book form will allow.
