Differentiable ManifoldsWISB 342; September 2004-Januari 2005

  The exam on Differentiable Manifolds  will take place on 

Monday January 31  from 14:00-17:00 

in the Educatorium Beta room

You can make your choice between:
- second part of the exam (only if you participated in the first part in the fall of 2004)
- full exam. 

In both cases you have to register your name in OSIRIS in time before the exam.

The lectures during the second period are the subject of the second part exam:
This corresponds to: lecture notes Meetkunde op Varieteiten (Looijenga

*chapter 8 to 12 (included)
voortgezette lineaire algebra (extended linear algebra) section 3 :orientation and internal contraction

* The hand-out:  More about Stokes (10 pages) 

*  exercises from the second period exercise sessions.

For the full-exam  one has to add the subjects of the first period(which were part of the first exam):
 *    chapter 1 to 7 (included)
 * voortgezette lineaire algebra (extended linear algebra) sections 1 to 3 (included) (but without orientation and internal contraction) 

exercises from  the first period exercise sessions.

You may do the exam either in Dutch or in English. Books or notes may not be consulted.

Cross-references with the book : T. Frankel : The Geometry of Physics
The course fromLooijenga's notes [Lo] treat more or less the same subjects as listed below.
Note that definitions of tangent vectors, cotangent vectors and tensors in [Fr] use the
transformation rules in their definitions. In [Lo] first the corresponding bundles are
constructed (mostly coordinate free), the corresponding fields are defined as sections
and the transformation rules are a corollary.
In chapter 2 and later we also skip the discussion on metric (g_ij), lowering and raising indices
and pseudo-forms.

Chapter 1 : all
Chapter 2 : all, except 2.1c, 2.1d, 2.3c ,2.3d, 2.4e, 2.7b, 2.8e
Chapter 3: Only 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.
Chapter 4: Only 4.1, 4.2 until (4.25), 4.3a
Chapter 5: Only 5.1, 5.2 and 5.4 (treated in some other way)
Handout : De RhamCohomology and section 13.4
Section 8.3 : Brouwer degree + handout
