Self-Contained Treatments of Stokes's Theorem for Manifolds

1k Views Asked by At

I am seeking to compile a list of textbooks that provide self-contained treatments of Stokes's Theorem in the language of differential forms and manifolds. By "self-contained", I mean the statements and proofs of all theorems from algebra, analysis and topology that are required to formulate and prove the theorem. I know of a few that satisfy this criterion or at least come pretty close and they are:

Calculus on Manifolds (Spivak)

Analysis on Manifolds (Munkres)

Functions of Several Variables (Fleming)

Vector Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Forms, A Unified Approach (Hubbard)

Advanced Calculus of Several Variables by Edwards

Multidimensional Real Analysis, Vols 1/2 (Duistermaat & Kolk)

Mathematical Analysis Vols 1/2 (Zorich)

What are others?

Shigeyuki Morita's Geometry of Differential Forms, is always an excellent source regarding differential forms and also almost self-contained. If you speak german, i recommend Konrad Königsberger's Analysis 2 for a more elementary treatment, which also includes a proof of Stokes's theorem.
