Differential Geometry

Curves, surfaces, curvature, manifolds: the language of general relativity.

Lesse

Calculus on curved things. Curvature measures how a surface bends, geodesics are its straight lines, and manifolds let the same ideas run in any dimension. Einstein's equations are a statement in this language.
