this book provides the necessary foundation for students interested in any of the diverse areas of mathematics which require the notion of a differentiable manifold. it is designed as a beginning graduate-level textbook and presumes a good undergraduate training in algebra and analysis plus some knowledge of point set topology, covering spaces, and the fundamental group. it is also intended for use as a reference book since it includes a number of items which are difficult to ferret out of the literature, in particular, thecompleteand self-contained proofs of the fundamental theorems of hodge and de rham.
