这本《微分流形导论(第2版)》由美国Serge Lang所著,内容是: The book gives an introduction to the basic concepts which are used indifferential topology, differential geometry, and differential equations. In differential topology, one studies for instance homotopy classes of maps andthe possibility of finding suitable differentiable maps in them (immersions,embeddings, isomorphisms, etc.). One may also use differentiable structureson topological manifolds to determine the topological structure of themanifold (for example, a la Smale [Sm 67]). In differential geometry, oneputs an additional structure on the differentiable manifold (a vector field, aspray, a 2-form, a Riemannian metric, ad lib.) and studies properties con-nected especially with these objects.
