Problems In Differential Geometry And Topology

About the book This problem book is compiled by eminent Moscow university teachers. Based on many years of teaching experience at the mechanics-and-mathematics department, it contains problems practically for all sections of the differential geometry and topology course delivered for university students: besides classical branches of the theory of curves and surfaces, the reader win be offered problems in smooth manifold theory, Riemannian geometry, vector fields and differential forms, general topology, homotopy theory and elements of variational calculus. The structure of the volume corresponds to A Course of Differential Geometry and Topology (Moscow University Press 1980) by Prof. A. T. Fomenko and Prof. A. S. Mishchenko Some problems however, touch upon topics outside the course lectures. The corresponding sections are provided with all necessary theoretical foundations. Preface 5 1.
