My Book Notes

Michael David Spivak [1] (May 25, 1940–October 1, 2020) [2] [3] was an American mathematician specializing in differential geometry, an expositor of mathematics, and the founder of Publish-or-Perish Press. Spivak was the author of the five-volume A Comprehensive Introduction to Differential Geometry. Alexander, Stephanie (1978). "Review: A comprehensive introduction to differential geometry, Vols. 3, 4, & 5, by M. Spivak". Bull. Amer. Math. Soc. 84 (1): 27–32. doi: 10.1090/s0002-9904-1978-14399-7.

If you want a calculus textbook that does everything honestly but gently enough so that good first-year students can follow it, this is the one. Spivak lectured on elementary physics. [4] Spivak's book, Physics for Mathematicians: Mechanics I (published December 6, 2010), contains the material that these lectures stemmed from and more. [5] Spivak was also the designer of the MathTime Professional 2 fonts (which are widely used in academic publishing) [6] and the creator of Science International. [7] Writing [ edit ]

The distinctive pedagogical aim of the work, as stated in its preface, was to elucidate for graduate students the often obscure relationship between classical differential geometry—geometrically intuitive but imprecise—and its modern counterpart, replete with precise but unintuitive algebraic definitions. On several occasions, most prominently in Volume 2, Spivak "translates" the classical language that Gauss or Riemann would be familiar with to the abstract language that a modern differential geometer might use. The Leroy P. Steele Prize was awarded to Spivak in 1985 for his authorship of the work.
