synthetic differential geometry Introductions geometry of physics: coordinate systems, smooth spaces, manifolds, smooth homotopy types, supergeometry Differentials Tangency The magic algebraic facts Theorems Axiomatics Models smooth algebra (-ring) differential equations, variational calculus Chern-Weil theory, ∞-Chern-Weil theory Cartan geometry (super, higher) What is called the Gromoll-Meyer sphere (Gromoll-Meyer 74) is an example of an exotic 7-sphere. It arises as a double coset...
