Description
Provides a clear introduction to one of the important subjects in modern mathematics. Beginning with basic concepts such as diffeomorphisms and smooth manifolds, this book goes on to examine tangent spaces, oriented manifolds, and vector fields. It discusses concepts such as homotopy, the index number of a map, and the Pontryagin construction.
