Essential Differential Geometry Naveen Balaji Umasankar

This book lays the mathematical foundations required to understand the majestic grandeur and essence of General Relativity (GR). This book provides a basic introduction to Differential Geometry required for studying GR. It's unique pictorial and analogy-driven approach provides a vivid experience to the reader. This book is for the highly-motivated undergraduate students of maths or physics who want to learn advanced concepts of maths and it's applications in physics in a unique and intuitive way. The mathematical level of the seven chapters of the book is that of undergraduates of mathematics or physics. The book assumes the reader to possess a fair knowledge of Special Relativity and Electromagnetism and aims at communicating the concepts as intuitively as possible, constantly promoting the avant-garde and consciously avoiding the vicissitudes one faces in the conventionalist approach to physics and the labyrinthine choice of words in archaic texts.
