Fundamentals of algebra and differential geometry

Everyone is welcome, including interested undergraduates.

Read at 8-st semester.
2 hours of lectures per week

Analysis on smooth manifolds plays an important role in modern mathematics and theoretical physics in the study of objects that do not have a natural linear structure. An example of such objects is a Lie group, which first appeared in the late 19th century in the works of the Norwegian mathematician Sophus Lie symmetries in the analysis of differential equations and developed, since an independent mathematical discipline needed in the study of dynamical systems with explicit or implicit symmetry. Dynamical systems on smooth manifolds often arise when the symmetry reduction of dynamical systems on linear spaces.

Study analysis on smooth manifolds also promotes the formation of mathematical intuition, not related to a specific coordinate system, and allows you to look in more general terms on the facts learned in the general course of mathematical analysis.

To understand the course requires a good knowledge of general math course of the first four semesters, as well as an introduction of general topology. Due to lack of time, not part of the allegations proved. The students are offered tasks that need to get credit.
