This is a completely revised edition, with more than fifty pages of new material scattered throughout. In keeping with the conventional meaning of chapters and sections, I have reorgaruzed the book into twenty-nine sections in seven chapters. The main additions are Section 20 0n the Lie derivative and interior multiplication, two intrinsic operations on a manifold too important to leave out, new criteria in Section 21 for the boundary orientation, and a new appendix on quaternions and the symplectic group.
Apart from correcting errors and misprints, I have thought through every proof again, clarified many passages, and added new examples, exercises, hints, and solutions. In the process, every section has been rewritten, sometimes quite drastically. The revisions are so extensive that it is not possible to enumerate them all here. Each chapter now comes with an introductory essay giving an overview of what is to come. To provide a timeline for the development ofideas, I have indicated whenever possi- ble the historical origin of the concepts, and have augmented the bibliography with historical references.
