Boothby’s “An Introduction to Differentiable Manifolds and Riemannian Geometry”
May 23rd, 2006 ~ Posted in: GeneralI should start a section on books; I would if I read a significant portion of even a tenth of the ones I pick up. I just found a good one on Juan’s desk, actually several: the first two volumes of Spivaks’s Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry, and the above mentioned book. I’m surprised, because Juan doesn’t strike me as a diff. geom. kind of guy; I thought he was strictly into functional analysis. But then again, he took these up from the piles of books professors leave outside of their door occasionally. Starting today, I will troll the halls… noone will get them before me.

Stick to Boothby. Spivack is way too verbose.
