Lee, John M.,

Riemannian Manifolds : An Introduction to Curvature - New York : Springer, 1997 - xv, 224 p. : 20x27 cm.

This text focuses on developing an intimate acquaintance with the geometric meaning of curvature and thereby introduces and demonstrates all the main technical tools needed for a more advanced course on Riemannian manifolds. It covers proving the four most fundamental theorems relating curvature and topology: the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem, the Cartan-Hadamard Theorem, Bonnet's Theorem, and a special case of the Cartan-Ambrose-Hicks Theorem.

Includes bibliographical references (p. [209]-211) and index.
