Title: Good Introduction
Review: I think this book is a good introduction to differential geometry. The first five chapters are pretty good, after that it starts to go downhill. Chapter 6 on normal and geodesic curvature, is very heavy on linear algebra, and the geometry seems to be put off until the very end of the chapter. Chapter 7 is somewhat better about this. Chapter 8 is boring and I found the problems to be overly challenging simply because a lot of explicitly refer to results from exercises in chapter 5 and 6. I am still in the process of reading this book.
