Last updated

An Introduction to Manifolds is a mathematics textbook written by Loring W. Tu providing an introduction to differential and integral calculus on smooth manifolds. [1] It was first published in 2008 by Springer and received positive reviews. [2] [3] The book is meant as a precursor to Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology by Raoul Bott and Tu. [4] [5]
