5.0 out of 5 stars
A Wiley book you can actually learn from,
This review is from: Differential Geometry (Wiley Classics Library) (Paperback)
Most books in the Wiley Classics collection are not for beginners in the subject. This is one of the few that you can use as either an introduction to differential geometry or as a reference. Another flaw found in most mathematical texts is the order in which ideas are presented. There are so many areas of mathematics related to so many other areas that it can be very difficult for a professor or author to present a linear course of thought on the subject, Stoker does an excellent job of finding that linear course of thought. I highly recommend it; even if you have to pay full price for it.Just so you know Stoker's Differential Geometry is undergraduate level differential geometry. The 2 volume set by Shoshichi Kobayashi and Katsumi Nomizu in the Wiley Classics Library is a graduate level treatment of the subject. |
