Course description and aims

As an informal introduction to Riemannian manifold, geometry of submanifolds in (pseudo) Euclidean
spaces is introduced.

Student learning outcomes

Students are expected to learn
- Pseudo Euclidean space.
- Induced metrics on submanifolds in a (pseudo) Euclidean space.
- Covariant derivatives on submanifolds.
- Geodesics on submanifolds.

Keywords

pseudo Euclidean space, submanifolds, Riemannian connections, geodesics

Competencies that will be developed

Specialist skills Intercultural skills Communication skills Critical thinking skills Practical and/or problem-solving skills

Class flow

A standard lecture course.
Homeworks will be assined for each lesson.

Out-of-Class Study Time (Preparation and Review)

Formal Message: To enhance effective learning, students are encouraged to spend approximately 100 minutes preparing for class and
another 100 minutes reviewing class content afterwards (including assignments) for each class.
They should do so by referring to textbooks and other course material.
