Kosinski\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe concepts of differential topology form the center of many mathematical disciplines such as differential geometry and Lie group theory. \u003ci\u003eDifferential Manifolds\u003c\/i\u003e presents to advanced undergraduates and graduate students the systematic study of the topological structure of smooth manifolds. Author Antoni A. Kosinski, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics at Rutgers University, offers an accessible approach to both the h-cobordism theorem and the classification of differential structures on spheres.\u003cbr\u003eHow useful it is, noted the \u003ci\u003eBulletin of the American Mathematical Society, \u003c\/i\u003e to have a single, short, well-written book on differential topology. This volume begins with a detailed, self-contained review of the foundations of differential topology that requires only a minimal knowledge of elementary algebraic topology. Subsequent chapters explain the technique of joining manifolds along submanifolds, the handle presentation theorem, and the proof of the h-cobordism theorem based on these constructions. There follows a chapter on the Pontriagin Construction--the principal link between differential topology and homotopy theory. The final chapter introduces the method of surgery and applies it to the classification of smooth structures of spheres. The text is supplemented by numerous interesting historical notes and contains a new appendix, The Work of Grigory Perelman, by John W. Morgan, which discusses the most recent developments in differential topology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.55 x 8.46 x 5.34 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 19, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45390175436902,"sku":"9780486462448","price":23.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0599\/7255\/0758\/files\/T3E5Tnp6S3AyZ2gyZ0xiMVJaM3dPUT09.webp?v=1775091034","url":"https:\/\/infinitylightwa.com\/products\/differential-manifolds-paperback","provider":"Infinity Light","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
