	The world's top Mathematics websites
		The modern fields of differential geometry and algebraic geometry generalize geometry in different directions: differential geometry emphasizes the concepts of functions, fiber bundles, derivatives, smoothness and direction, while in algebraic geometry geometrical objects are described as solution sets of polynomial equations.
		Topology connects the study of space and the study of change by focusing on the concept of continuity.

	Topology
		Topology is concerned with the intrinsic properties of shapes of spaces.
		That is true of the topology group at Columbia, which has enjoyed a close connection with the algebraic geomety group, the geometric PDE group, and the mathematical physics group at Columbia.
		Low-dimensional topology is currently a very active part of mathematics, benefiting greatly from its interactions with the fields of partial differential equations, differential geometry, algebraic geometry, modern physics, representation theory, number theory, and algebra.

		Differential geometry is the study of geometry using calculus.
		Initially and up to the middle of the nineteenth century, differential geometry was studied from the extrinsic point of view: curves, surfaces were considered as lying in a Euclidean space of higher dimension (for example a surface in an ambient space of three dimensions).
		A symplectic manifold is a differentiable manifold equipped with a symplectic form (that is, a closed non-degenerate 2-form).

	Graduate Study in Geometry and Topology
		Modern differential geometry is concerned with the spaces on which calculus of several variables applies (differentiable manifolds) and the various geometrical structures which can be defined on them.
		Differential topology is the study of those properties of smooth manifolds that are invariant under smooth homeomorphisms with smooth inverses (diffeomorphisms).
		General topology has been an active research area for many years, and is broadly the study of topological spaces and their associated continuous functions.

	Topology -- from Wolfram MathWorld
		Topology is the mathematical study of the properties that are preserved through deformations, twistings, and stretchings of objects.
		One of the central ideas in topology is that spatial objects like circles and spheres can be treated as objects in their own right, and knowledge of objects is independent of how they are "represented" or "embedded" in space.
		Topology can be divided into algebraic topology (which includes combinatorial topology), differential topology, and low-dimensional topology.

	Differential geometry and topology - Gurupedia
		Differential geometry is the study of geometry using calculus.
		A vector field is a function from a manifold to the disjoint union of its tangent spaces (this union is itself a manifold known as the tangent bundle), such that at each point, the value is an element of the tangent space at that point.
		Finsler geometry has the Finsler manifold as the main object of study — this is a differential manifold with a Finsler metric, i.e.

	PlanetMath: bibliography for differential geometry
		As the authors say in the introduction “An understanding of what it means for solutions of systems of differential equations to exist and be unique is more imporant than an ability to crank out general solutions.”) Starting with the basics of set theory, the authors develop the basics of topology and linear algebra.
		Tensors, forms, integration and differentiation are all covered, as are curvature and geodesics.
		This is version 12 of bibliography for differential geometry, born on 2004-03-26, modified 2006-11-19.

	physics - Differential geometry and topology
		In mathematics, differential topology is the field dealing with differentiable functions on differentiable manifolds.
		These all relate to multivariate calculus; but for the geometric applications must be developed in a way that makes good sense without a preferred coordinate system.
		We say a function from the manifold to R is infinitely differentiable if its composition with every homeomorphism results in an infinitely differentiable function from the open unit ball to R.

	Topology
		The second, geometric topology, focuses on the connectivity properties of topological spaces and provides the core results from general topology that serve as background for subsequent courses in geometry and algebraic topology.
		In classical topology, this relation is simple and clear: "An open set is a neighborhood of a point if and only if this point belongs to this open set." In early period of fuzzy topology, "membership relation" was similarly defined.
		This kind of topology construction, in which points do not "belong to" their neighborhood structure, was investigated early in 1916 by French Mathematician Freche't.

		The term Differential Geometry was used for the first time by Luigi Bianchi in his classical books Lezioni di geometria differenziale (1894), which, along with the Leçons sur la théorie générale des surfaces (1887-96) by Gaston Darboux, has been the standard treatise in the subject for many years.
		Actually Differential Geometry was born as the natural application of the analytical techniques developed in XVII and XVIII cent.

		In differential geometry and topology one often deals with systems of partial differential equations, as well as partial differential inequalities, that have infinitely many solutions whatever boundary conditions are imposed.
		Two famous examples of the $h$-principle, the Nash-Kuiper $C^1$-isometric embedding theory in Riemannian geometry and the Smale-Hirsch immersion theory in differential topology, were later transformed by Gromov into powerful general methods for establishing the $h$-principle.
		Gromov's famous book "Partial Differential Relations", which is devoted to the same subject, is an encyclopedia of the $h$-principle, written for experts, while the present book is the first broadly accessible exposition of the theory and its applications.

		These lecture notes are the content of an introductory course on modern, coordinate-free differential geometry which is taken by first-year theoretical physics PhD students, or by students attending the one-year MSc course "Fundamental Fields and Forces" at Imperial College.
		The volume is divided into four parts: (i) introduction to general topology; (ii) introductory coordinate-free differential geometry; (iii) geometrical aspects of the theory of Lie groups and Lie group actions on manifolds; (iv) introduction to the theory of fibre bundles.
		In the introduction to differential geometry the author lays considerable stress on the basic ideas of "tangent space structure", which he develops from several different points of view - some geometrical, others more algebraic.
