Titled Selected Topics in Differential Geometry.
Depending on instructor, topics from pseudo-Riemannian and Riemannian geometry such as: isometries and Killing vector fields; sectional curvatures; submanifolds; normal coordinates; variation of geodesics and Jacobi fields; conformally related spaces. ‘
