I would like to know at what level is the book Tensors and Manifolds by Wasserman is pitched and what are the prerequisites of this book? Given the prerequisites, at what level should it be (please give examples of books)? If anyone has used this book can you please kindly give your comments and suggestions?

Hi, I have the book. I never used it but looking inside it begin with standard definitions of vectors spaces and tensors. It seems very accessible to university students. This is in fact a collection of lessons of the author ... In the second part of the book there are also present applications on the relativity theory but the the first part seems very basic, I don't see a lot of exercises but this depends what you search ...
