Description

This book is intended as an elementary introduction to differential manifolds. The authors concentrate on the intuitive geometric aspects and explain not only the basic properties but also teach how to do the basic geometrical constructions. An integral part of the work are the many diagrams which illustrate the proofs. The text is liberally supplied with exercises and will be welcomed by students with some basic knowledge of analysis and topology.

Reviews

'The book of Brocker and Janich is the best introduction to elementary differential topology that I know. It is recommended wholeheartedly to every student for self-study and can also serve well as the foundation for an introductory course on differentiable manifolds.' E. Brieskorn, Jahresberichte der Deutsche Mathematische Vereinigung
