96757 - Riemmannian Geometry

Academic Year 2022/2023

  • Teaching Mode: Traditional lectures
  • Campus: Bologna
  • Corso: Second cycle degree programme (LM) in Mathematics (cod. 5827)

Learning outcomes

At the end of the course, the student acquires advanced knowledge on differential calculus on smooth manifolds and knowledge on the main problems and methods that arise from the study of Riemannian structures, particularly with regard to geodesics. The student knows the fundamental examples and is able to handle the main tools of the theory that can be used to construct mathematical models.
