Sampler of Riemann-Finsler Geometry

Klappentext These expository accounts treat issues related to volume! geodesics! curvature and mathematical biology! with instructive examples. Zusammenfassung This book presents expository accounts of six important topics in Finsler geometry suitable for a special-topics graduate course in differential geometry. They treat issues related to volume! geodesics! curvature and mathematical biology! and provide a good variety of instructive examples. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; Synopses; 1.
