About this title: This title provides an introduction to the geometry of curved spaces. Its main theme is the effect of the curvature of these spaces on the usual notions of geometry: angles, lengths, areas, and volumes; and those new notions and ideas motivated by curvature itself. A number of completely new themes are created by curvature: they include local versus global geometric properties, that is, the interaction of microscopic behavior of the geometry with the macroscopic structure of the space. Notes and exercises are included for each chapter.
Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.
