Which book for Tensors and Differential Forms

215 Views Asked by At

Right now I'm looking for a basic to intermediate level book on tensors and differential forms as well as some light hodge theory. My attention has come between Renteln's "Manifolds, Tensors and Forms" and Tu and Bott's "Differential Forms in Algebraic Topology". At the moment I'm going through Tu's Introduction to Manifolds to understand the basics of manifold theory but I find myself intrigued with aspects cohomology and hodge theory.

More importantly, is the quality of Renteln's book sufficient for understanding of differential forms and De Rham cohomology or would it be better to just to use some other texts on the same material?

Which one of the two would be best or would it be helpful to use Renteln's book as a supplement to understanding differential forms and the like.
