Summary
Differential topology uncovers the hidden structure of smooth spaces – the foundation of modern geometry and topology. This book offers a clear, rigorous introduction to the subject, blending theory with concrete examples and applications.
Beginning with the basics of manifolds and smooth maps, it develops essential tools and concepts such as tangent spaces, transversality, cobordism, and tubular neighbourhoods, before progressing to powerful invariants like the Brouwer degree, inters…

Critics Review
‘The material of the book is comparable to that of Milnor’s classic treatise, but Quick’s exposition is much more detailed and concrete. Students with a basic knowledge of linear algebra and multidimensional calculus will have no difficulty understanding this material. Almost all exercises have detailed solutions, so, apart from being a great companion to lectures, the book is ideal for self-study.’ Christopher Deninger, University of Münster
