Title: An Introduction to Riemannian Manifolds
Abstract: In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to the different aspects of Riemannian geometry: Riemannian metrics, affine connections, covariant derivatives, geodesics, curvature, Jacobi fields, and variation formulas. This talk will serve as a prelude to my next talk which will involve some topological aspects of Riemannian Manifolds.
