The contents of the Algebra 1, Geometry 1 and 2, Linear Algebra courses and of the Analysis courses of the first two years of the Laurea in Mathematics curriculum

The course is an introduction to the basic concepts and methods of differential geometry

Differentiable manifolds: tangent and cotangent spaces, vector fields and differential forms, vector fields and coordinates: the Frobenius theorem, Lie groups and Lie algebras.
Topics in differential topology: Sard’s lemma, the deRham theorem.
Riemannian geometry: riemannian manifolds and Levi-Civita connections, curvature, geodesics, completeness, the theorems of Hopf-Rinow and Whitehead; Jacobi fields.
Complex manifolds (if time allows): holomorphic functions of several complex variables and their basic properties, meromorphic functions, complex manifolds, Kähler manifolds
