This text presents a graduate-level introduction to differential geometry for mathematics and physics students. The exposition follows the historical development of the concepts of connection and curvature with the goal of explaining the Chern–Weil theory of characteristic classes on a principal bundle. Along the way we encounter some of the high points in the history of differ...(展开全部)

De Rham cohomology is the cohomology of differential forms. This book offers a self-contained exposition to this subject and to the theory of characteristic classes from the curvature point of view. It requires no prior knowledge of the concepts of algebraic topology or cohomology. The first 10 chapters study cohomology of open sets in Euclidean space, treat smooth manifolds an...(展开全部)

埃里克·欧林·赖特(Erik Olin Wright)，1947年出生于加利福尼亚的伯克利。1968年毕业并获得社会研究的学士学位之后，他在牛津大学两年，主要跟随克里斯托弗-希尔研究历史，1970年返回美国后的一年里，他参加了伯克利的一神论神学研究会，期间还在圣昆廷监狱做过实习牧师。1971年,他进入加州大学研究生院研究社会学，直到1976年春完成他的博士论文《阶级结构和收入不平等》。作为《阶级、危机和国家》(新左派图书公司，1980)的作者，他目前是麦迪逊市威斯康星大学社会学教授。

In this rich reference work, Beth Levin classifies over 3,000 English verbs according to shared meaning and behavior. Levin starts with the hypothesis that a verb's meaning influences its syntactic behavior and develops it into a powerful tool for studying the English verb lexicon. She shows how identifying verbs with similar syntactic behavior provides an effective means of di...(展开全部)
