Curvature in Mathematics and Physics

Curvature in Mathematics and PhysicsThis original text for courses in differential geometry is geared toward advanced undergraduate and graduate majors in math and physics. Based on an advanced class taught by a world renowned mathematician for more than fifty years, the treatment introduces semi Riemannian geometry and its principal physical application, Einstein's theory of general relativity, using the Cartan exterior calculus as a principal tool. Starting with an introduction to the
