Introduction to Riemannian Geometry
The study of curves and surfaces is an ideal place to learn the beginnings of Riemannian Geometry. After a basic introduction, topics to be covered include Gaussian curvature, second fundamental form, Gauss's Theorem Egregium, Gauss-Bonnet Theorem, and Rigidity of spheres.
