	Differential geometry and topology - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		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 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.

		Differential topology is the field of mathematics dealing with differentiable functions on differentiable manifolds.
		A vector field is a function from a manifold to the disjoint union of its tangent spaces, such that at each point, the value is a member of the tangent space at that point.
		A symplectic manifold is a differentiable manifold equipped with a closed non-degenerate bi-linear alternating form (a closed 2-form for short).

		This distinction between differential geometry and differential topology is blurred, however, in questions specifically pertaining to local diffeomorphism invariants such as the tangent space at a point.
		Differential topology is the study of the (infinitesimal, local, and global) properties of structures on manifolds having no non-trivial local moduli, whereas differential geometry is the study of the (infinitesimal, local, and global) properties of structures on manifolds having non-trivial local moduli.
		CR geometry is the study of the intrinsic geometry of boundaries of domains in complex manifolds.

	Differential geometry and topology Summary
		Differential geometry is the study of geometry using differential calculus (cf.
		The apparatus of differential geometry is that of calculus on manifolds: this includes the study of manifolds, tangent bundles, cotangent bundles, differential forms, exterior derivatives, integrals of p-forms over p-dimensional submanifolds and Stokes' theorem, wedge products, and Lie derivatives.
		A symplectic manifold is a differentiable manifold equipped with a symplectic form (that is, a non-degenerate, bilinear, and skew-symmetric 2-form).

		In mathematics, projective differential geometry is the study of differential geometry, from the point of view of properties that are invariant under the projective group.
		Élie Cartan formulated the idea of a general projective connection, as part of his method of moving frames; abstractly speaking, this is the level of generality at which the Erlangen program can be reconciled with differential geometry, while it also develops the oldest part of the theory (for the projective line), namely the Schwarzian derivative.
		The ideas of projective differential geometry recur in mathematics and its applications, but the formulations given are still rooted in the language of the early twentieth century.

		In differential geometry, Riemannian geometry is the study of smooth manifolds with Riemannian metrics, i.e.
		Riemannian geometry was first put forward in generality by Bernhard Riemann in the nineteenth century.
		It deals with a broad range of geometries whose metric properties vary from point to point, as well as two standard types of Non-Euclidean geometry, spherical geometry and hyperbolic geometry, as well as Euclidean geometry itself.
