Accessible, concise, and self-contained, this book offers an outstanding introduction to three related subjects: differential geometry, differential topology, and dynamical systems. The author's intuitive approach forms a treatment that is comprehensible to relative beginners, yet rigorous enough for professional mathematicians. Integration on manifolds plays an important role in the text and provides the foundation for many concrete applications. Special attention is given to chaotic phenomena, including the persistence of chaos under small perturbations. The author also provides a unique presentation of the Conley index theory, which then forms the basis of an original approach to hyperbolic dynamics.
Accessible, concise, and self-contained, this book offers an outstanding introduction to three related subjects: differential geometry, differential topology, and dynamical systems. The authors' intuitive approach forms a treatment that is comprehensible to relative beginners, yet rigorous enough for professional mathematicians. Smooth manifolds, Riemannian metrics, affine connections, the curvature tensor, differential forms, integration on manifolds, and intersection theory provide the foundation for many applications in dynamical systems and mechanics. Topics of special interest addressed in the book include Brouwer's fixed point theorem, Morse Theory, and the geodesic flow.
