Learning Outcomes

  • demonstrate an understanding of Riemannian metrics and affine connections on differentiable manifolds.
  • work with geodesics on Riemannian manifolds, and use their properties to solve concrete problems, such as finding distance minimizing paths.
  • show a mastery of computing and applying the Riemannian and Ricci tensors, and sectional and scalar curvatures.
