Differential Geometry and Topology by Keith Burns

Offers an introduction to three related subjects: differential geometry, differential topology, and dynamical systems. This book addresses topics such as Brouwer's fixed point theorem, Morse Theory, and the geodesic flow. It also discuss the Gauss-Bonnet theorem and its implications in non-Euclidean geometry models.

"The authors introduce important concepts by means of intuitive discussions and suggestive examples and follow them with significant applications, especially those related to dynamics…The authors have succeeded in the integration of geometric theory, topological theory, and concrete applications to dynamical systems."
-Mathematical Reviews, Andrew Bucki

"The authors of this book treat a great many topics very concisely."
-MAA Reviews, William J. Satzer, 2005

"A noteworthy feature of the presentation is that dynamical systems, which are introduced in the second chapter, are used systematically to illustrate concepts and as a source of applications."
-CMS Notes, Vol. 38, No. 2, March, 2006

". . . very well written, in a very pedagogical manner and it covers a lot of material in a very clear way. I think this is an ideal introduction to differential geometry and topology for beginning graduate students or advanced undergraduate students in mathematics, but it will be, also, useful to physicist or other scientists with an interest in differential geometry and dynamical systems."

– Paul Blaga, in Babes- Bolyai Mathematica, June 2007, Vol. 52, No. 2

"Numerous illustrations and exercises round off the picture of an original and very readable textbook."

– M. Kunzinger, in Monatshefte fur Math, 2007, Vol. 152, No. 1
