Differential geometry is the study of curved spaces using the techniques of calculus. This introductory textbook originates from a popular course given to third-year students at Durham University for over 20 years, first by the late Lyndon Woodward and then by John Bolton (and others). It provides a thorough introduction by focusing on the beginnings of the subject as studied by Gauss.
