Lectures in Differential Geometry - PART 1

VERY GOOD; FIRST EDITION, first printing; 3 HOLE BINDER; THE PAGES ARE UNMARKED AND GENERALLY CLEAN; THIS IS A MASSIVE WORK OF 647 PAGES OF 7 CHAPTERS THAT IS BASED ON LECTURES THAT THE AUTHOR DELIVERED AT HARVARD DURING THE ACADEMIC YEAR 1960-61; AS FAR AS I CAN DETERMINE, THIS BOOK PRE-DATES ALL OF HIS OTHER WORK IN THIS AREA; NOTE: THE TABLE OF CONTENTS LISTS 5 CHAPTERS YET THE FORWARD SPEAKS OF 7 CHAPTERS AND THE BOOK INDEED CONTAINS 7 CHAPTERS; EXTREMELY RARE WORK WITH ONLY 3 UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES HAVING AN INCOMPLETE COPY; ALTHOUGH IT SAYS "PART 1", IT IS COMPLETE AS PER THE FORWARD AND NO "PART 2" WAS EVER PUBLISHED; CONTENTS: Chapter 1: Algebraic Preliminaries; Chapter 2: Differentiable Manifolds; Chapter 3: Integral Calculus on Manifolds; Chapter 4: The Calculus of Variations; Chapter 5: Lie Groups; Chapter 6: Differential Geometry of Euclidean Space; Chapter 7: The Geometry of G-Structures; THIS COULD BE THE ONLY COMPLETE COPY ANYWHERE; EXTRA SHIPPING NECESSARY FOR A HUGH BOOK; Size: 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.…
