This book offers an introduction to differential geometry for the
non-specialist. It includes most of the required material from
multivariable calculus, linear algebra, and basic analysis. An
intuitive approach and a minimum of prerequisites make it a
valuable companion for students of mathematics and physics. The
main focus is on manifolds in Euclidean space and the metric
properties they inherit from it. Among the topics discussed are
curvature and how it affects the shape of space, and the
generalization of the fundamental theorem of calculus known as
Stokes' theorem.
