The Memoirs of the AMS is devoted to the publication of new research in all areas of pure and applied mathematics. The Memoirs is designed particularly to publish long papers of groups of cognate papers in book form, and is under the supervision of the Editorial Committee of the AMS journal Transactions of the American Mathematical Society. All papers are peer-reviewed.

This book presents a concise introduction to differential geometry. It is aimed at advanced undergraduate students and first year graduate students who wish to have a basic solid knowledge of the subject, and it can serve as a starting point for more advanced reading. The book is organized into lectures, so it can easily be used as a textbook for a beginning graduate-level course in differential geometry.
