Students learns some of the main basic concepts and methods of the theory of smooth manifolds and its connection to related fields of mathematics such as analytic and algebraic geometry, the theory of Lie groups, the theory of Riemann surfaces, etc. Basic methods of analysis, algebra and topology are applied in the course.

Knowledge and understanding: Methods of mathematical analysis, algebra and topology are applied and further developed in the context of smooth manifolds.
Application: The theory of smooth manifolds is one of the most interdisciplinary areas of modern mathematics. It is a basis of a number of areas such as analytic, algebraic and differential geometry, the theory of Lie groups, the theory of Riemann surfaces, dynamics, etc. Manifolds are a major tool in natural and technical sciences.
Reflection: Understanding the theory on the basis of examples. Acquiring skills in applying the theory to diverse scientific problems.
Transferable skills: The ability to identify, formulate and solve scientific problems using methods of smooth manifolds. Developing skills of using the domestic and foreign literature.
