This book gives
a deeper account of basic ideas of differential topology than usual in
introductory texts. Also many more examples of manifolds like matrix groups
and Grassmannians are worked out in detail. Topics covered includes:
Continuity, compactness and connectedness, Smooth manifolds and maps, Regular
values and Sards theorem, Manifolds with boundary and orientations, Smooth homotopy and vector bundles, Intersection numbers, vector fields and Euler
characteristic.
This note covers
the following topics: Smooth manifolds and smooth maps, Tangent spaces and differentials ,
Regular and singular values , Manifolds with boundary, Immersions
and embeddings , Degree mod 2 , Orientation of manifolds and
Applications of degree.
