Riemannian Geometry: A Beginners Guide

by Frank Morgan

This classic text serves as a tool for self-study; it is also used as a basic text for undergraduate courses in differential geometry. The author's ability to extract the essential elements of the theory in a lucid and concise fashion allows the student easy access to the material and enables the instructor to add emphasis and cover special topics. The extraordinary wealth of examples within the exercises and the new material, ranging from isoperimetric problems to comments on Einstein's original paper on relativity theory, enhance this new edition.

brief forthright lecture notes that get straight to the formulas and examples. very readable if you're coming from background knowledge on the level of Theodore Shifrin's very man-on-the-street--friendly Differential Geometry lecture notes online. if you want a handy book for formula lookup this could be useful.
