About this book
Reviews
From the reviews of the second edition:
“This book could be called a prequel to the book ‘Differential forms in algebraic topology’ by R. Bott and the author. Assuming only basic background in analysis and algebra, the book offers a rather gentle introduction to smooth manifolds and differential forms offering the necessary background to understand and compute deRham cohomology. … The text also contains many exercises … for the ambitious reader.” (A. Cap, Monatshefte für Mathematik, Vol. 161 (3), October, 2010)
