Ebook: A sampler of Riemann-Finsler geometry

Finsler geometry generalizes Riemannian geometry in exactly the same way that Banach spaces generalize Hilbert spaces. This book presents expository accounts of six important topics in Finsler geometry at a level suitable for a special topics graduate course in differential geometry. The contributors consider issues related to volume, geodesics, curvature and mathematical biology, and include a variety of instructive examples.
