Overview
-
The goal of this course is to introduce the student to the basics of smooth manifold theory. The course will start with a brief outline of the prerequisites from topology and multi-variable calculus.After the introducion of differentiable manifolds, a large class of examples, including Lie groups, will be presented. The course will culminate with a proof of Stokes' theorem on manifolds. INTENDED AUDIENCE : Masters and PhD students in mathematics, physics, robotics and control theory, information theory and climate sciences.PREREQUISITES : Real analysis, linear algebra and multi-variable calculus, topology.INDUSTRY SUPPORT : Nil
