Today it is possible to describe differential geometry as "the study of structures on the tangent space," and this text develops this point of view. This book, unlike other introductory texts in differential geometry, develops the architecture necessary to introduce symplectic and contact geometry alongside its Riemannian cousin. The main goal of this book is to bring the undergraduate student who already has a solid foundation in the standard mathematics curriculum into contact with the beauty of higher mathematics. In particular, the presentation here emphasizes the consequences of a definition and the careful use of examples and constructions in order to explore those consequences. 410 0$aUndergraduate Texts in Mathematics,$x0172-6056 606 $aDifferential geometry 606 $aGlobal analysis (Mathematics) 606 $aManifolds (Mathematics) 606 $aComplex manifolds 606 $aDifferential Geometry$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M21022 606 $aGlobal Analysis and Analysis on Manifolds$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M12082 606 $aManifolds and Cell Complexes (incl.
