Course description
This course will cover the fundamentals of Differential Geometry, in particular it will introduce the students to differentiable manifolds and their properties. Topics like the tangent space of a manifold, immersions, submersions, vector fields, integration on Manifolds and some concepts related to Lie Groups.
Depending on the time and level of the student the second part of the course will delve deep into Riemannian geometry, covering topics such as Riemannian metrics, covariant derivatives, curvature tensors, Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
