Release Notes

This is a brief introduction to some geometrical topics including topological
spaces, the metric tensor, Euclidean space, manifolds, tensors, r-forms, the
orientation of a manifold and the Hodge star operator. It provides the reader
who is approaching the subject for the first time with a deeper understanding of
the geometrical properties of vectors and covectors. The material prepares the
reader for discussions on basic concepts such as the differential of a function
as a covector, metric dual, inner product, wedge product and cross product.
