Tensors and Riemannian Geometry: With Applications to Differential Equations - Paperback

by Nail H. Ibragimov (Author), Higher Education Press (Contribution by)

This book is based on the experience of teaching the subject by the author in Russia, France, South Africa and Sweden. The author provides students and teachers with an easy to follow textbook spanning a variety of topics on tensors, Riemannian geometry and geometric approach to partial differential equations. Application of approximate transformation groups to the equations of general relativity in the de Sitter space simplifies the subject significantly.
