{{ | This list of books provides the most direct and rigorous route to understanding differential geometry. See the image on the right for a visual treatment of its dependencies. | ||
| | Β | ||
Each selection thoroughly addresses its topics. | |||
Β | |||
There are other books for more specific topics. These are the core. | |||
Β | |||
The greatest hurdles are motivation and coming to understand the language of mathematics. | |||
