The Geometry of Geodesics

The Geometry of GeodesicsA comprehensive approach to qualitative problems in intrinsic differential geometry, this text for upper level undergraduates and graduate students emphasizes cases in which geodesics possess only local uniqueness properties and consequently, the relations to the foundations of geometry are decidedly less relevant, and Finsler spaces become the principal subject. This direct approach has produced many new results and has materially generalized many
