MHB Differential Topology Notes - at undergraduate level

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on finding resources for studying Differential Topology, particularly at an undergraduate level. The original poster, Peter, is using Lee's book on Smooth Manifolds and seeks online lecture notes that include diagrams and examples. A response highlights that there are limited undergraduate-level textbooks specifically for Differential Topology, noting that Guillemin and Pollack's "Differential Topology" is commonly used in some undergraduate programs. Another resource mentioned is a text that leans more towards differential geometry. The conversation emphasizes the challenge of finding suitable educational materials in this specialized field.

I am trying to understand Differential Topology using several textbooks including Lee's book on Smooth Manifolds.

I am looking for some good online lecture notes at undergraduate level (especially if they have good diagrams and examples) in order to supplement the texts ...

Can anyone help in this matter ...

Hi Peter,

In my opinion, there really isn't an 'undergraduate level' textbook in differential topology (there are however more undergrad textbooks in differential geometry). Some undergraduate programs use Guillemin and Pollack's Differential Topology as the standard textbook. Here is another text, but more on the side of differential geometry.

Thanks for the advice and help, Euge ...

I'm looking at a book called python crash course for beginners (eric mathes), does anyone have experience of using this book or any other book that you would recommend for learning python if not that, is there a specific course you'd suggest that isn't in book form? I'm completely new to programming if it helps. So i need a gameplan for learning it quite quickly for my undergrad studies
