Studying How to start with Reinmann geometry

[SHIVANSH VERMA]

HI , i am having a problem in reinmann geometry as i am not able to cope up with the language used in
"introduction to reinmann geometry-with applications in mechanics ang relativity".Can anyone suggest an easy to go with book, for a beginner for self study

A good start is to get the name Riemann geometry correctly.

Apart from that, you will need a solid foundation in linear algebra and multivariable calculus.

You may start with https://arxiv.org/pdf/gr-qc/9712019.pdf.

How are we supposed to answer this if you're not giving us any clue of your current knowledge in math and physics? Nor did you tell us whether you want a book that is rigorous or just a book "for physicists".

Understand the calculus on manifolds. I think this is , basically , advanced multivariable calculus. For a start , try to figure out how to compute the curvature of a curve , then move to surfaces on three-dimenional Euclidean space. You should master this machinery given enough time. I can't recommend any textbooks though because you did not provide enough details about what exactly you're trying to do.

sorry to reply very late, i have just completed 12th standard and am very curious to know GR and SR. i hv some knowledge of calculus(excluding integration in two variable,partial differential equations,...).I know very little about tensors and vector field. can u guide me how to proceed? plsreply at the earliest.

I want to do majors in physics, and am very curious about GR. Pls guide me how to proceed as i am just a beginner and know very little about
manifolds,tensors,...

I am sorry, you do not have the prerequisites to study Riemannian geometry. I have already given you information on what subjects you need to master first in post #2.

which book should i refer for multivariable calculus ?

 

[SHIVANSH VERMA]

and please tell me what are prerequisities to study riemannian geometry apart from algebra and multivariable calculus.

If you want to dip into GR, take a look at Hartle https://www.amazon.com/dp/0805386629/?tag=pfamazon01-20 and see if you can handle the first part. Also learn SR before GR.
