and some fundamental theorems in Riemannian geometry.
This course will be succeeded by [ZUA.B334 : Advanced courses in Geometry D].
Student learning outcomes
Students are expexted to
・understand the definitions of Riemannian metric, sectional curvature, Ricci curvature, and scalar curvature.
・be familiar with the method of expressing them by using local coordinates of the underlying manifold.
Keywords
