More about the book

The book presents a unique approach to differential geometry, emphasizing geometric intuition through 235 hand-drawn diagrams. It revisits classical results using Newton's methods and offers distinct geometrical proofs of significant theorems, including the Global Gauss-Bonnet theorem and Gauss's Theorema Egregium. The final act introduces differential forms, covering advanced topics like Maxwell's equations, de Rham cohomology, and Einstein's field equations, making complex concepts accessible to undergraduates. The chapters can be read independently, enhancing flexibility for learners.
