As an informal introduction to Riemannian manifold, geometry of submanifolds in (pseudo) Euclidean
spaces is introduced.
Students are expected to learn
- Pseudo Euclidean space.
- Induced metrics on submanifolds in a (pseudo) Euclidean space.
- Covariant derivatives on submanifolds.
- Geodesics on submanifolds.
pseudo Euclidean space, submanifolds, Riemannian connections, geodesics
✔ Specialist skills | Intercultural skills | Communication skills | Critical thinking skills | Practical and/or problem-solving skills |
A standard lecture course.
Homeworks will be assined for each lesson.

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.
No textbook is set. Lecture note will be provided.
