| Aims |
|
The main purpose of the course consists in construction of the principal instruments which are necessary in studying the the Non-Euclidian geometry. The following notions and results are studied: Riemannian metric, Levi-Civita conexion,
geodesics, Riemannian curvature tensor, sectional curvature, space of constant curvature, elliptic geometry, hyperbolic geometry, euclidian models. |
