Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes

In this lecture we introduce basic notions of Differential Geometry. More precisely, we introduce among others the notions of manifold, manifold with boundary, vector bundle, connection, parallel transport, submanifold, differential form and de Rham cohomology.

General Competences
  • Work autonomously
  • Work in teams
  • Develop critical thinking skills.

Syllabus

  • Topological and smooth manifolds.
  • Tangent and cotangent bundles.
  • Vector fields and their flows.
  • Submanifolds and Frobenius’ Theorem.
  • Vector bundles.
  • Connection and parallel transport.
  • Differential forms.
  • De Rham cohomology.
