order. An important feature of his treatment is
that the majority of the techniques are applicable

a priori estimates throughout the text, even for
those equations that can be solved explicitly. Such
estimates are indispensable tools for proving the
existence and uniqueness of solutions to PDEs,
being especially important for nonlinear equations. This text emphasizes rigorous mathematical

Ricci flow is a powerful analytic method
for studying the geometry and topology of
manifolds. This book is an introduction to Ricci
flow for graduate students and mathematicians
interested in working in the subject. To this end,
the first chapter is a review of the relevant basics
of Riemannian geometry. For the benefit of the
student, the text includes a number of exercises of Differential geometry began as the study of curves

between the Ricci flow and the linear heat equation, has become closely allied with developments in
mean curvature flow, and other geometric topology. The basic object is a smooth manifold,
