In addition to his book of lecture notes for the Topics in Differential Geometry course Chern taught at Princeton in 1951, the volume contains a selection of his expository papers. Together they show how differential geometry is connected to other areas of mathematics such as topology and Lie group theory. The papers cover from triangles to manifolds, curves and surfaces in Euclidean space, minimal submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold, characteristic classes and characteristic forms, geometry and physics, and the geometry of G-structures.
