Number of pages: 94

Description:
This is an introductory course on differentiable manifolds. One of the historical driving forces of the theory of manifolds was General Relativity, where the manifold is four-dimensional spacetime, wormholes and all. A large part of the text is occupied with the theory of differential forms and the exterior derivative.
