Differential Geometry I

Please note that this page is old.
Check in the VVZ for a current information.

Contents: This course is devoted to differentiable manifolds. We begin by studying their differentiable functions, maps and the rank theorem. We then move on to Sard's Theorem, apply it to the Whitney Embedding Theorem and, if time permits, to Brouwer's Fixed Point Theorem. A later part of the course deals with differential forms, integration theory, the exterior derivative, Stokes' Theorem and applications to de Rham cohomology.

Lecturer: Prof. Dr. Marc Burger
Organizer: Stephan Tornier
