Riemannian Geometry
overall review score: 4.5
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
score is between 0 and 5
Riemannian geometry is a branch of differential geometry that studies smooth manifolds with Riemannian metrics, which define a notion of length and angle in the space. It is named after the German mathematician Bernhard Riemann.
