Are Riemannian Geometry and Differential topology the same thing?

111 Views Asked by At

I'm not an expert on the subject, but I was wondering what's the difference between "Riemannian Geometry" and "Differential topology". To me the names suggest they're different things, but looking through some of the books preview they seem to have similar content.

Can anyone clarify? Is maybe one a subset of the other? What sorts of problems do they allow to solve that the other doesn't etc.
