Needs a table of symbols - [04 Feb 2007]
This is another well-written text by Do Carmo. I browsed through it and found I could not understand several passages because I did not know what the special symbols meant and there was no table of symbols. I plead with the publisher to add such a table...

Concise and clear - [13 Nov 2006]
This is really a very good book to start Riemannian Geometry (RG). Exposition of key concepts of RG (affine connection, riemannian connection,geodesics, parallelism and sectional curvature, ...) are well motivated and concisely explained with numerous...

Probably the best introduction to the subject. - [25 Mar 2005]
I had the pleasure of taking a course in Riemannian Geometry from the author himself, using the Portuguese version of this book. Do Carmo managed to cover the whole thing in one semester without breaking a sweat; I don't know how he managed, or how we...

Excellent start~! - [27 Nov 2003]
I have gone through many books about riemannian geometry, only to find that most of them are playing magic in front of me. When it comes to curvature and variation of energy (arc length), most of the book are just playing around with the notations without...

riemannian geomertry - [15 Oct 2000]
this book covers basic definitions of submanifold, riema mannian metrics, curvature, geodesics and morse theory, sphere theorem, which is the main content in riemannian geometry. I think the author deals very readily, and this dealing is suitable for ...
