If This Is a Man to shape the book, giving it a clear sense of direction. In January 1947, the manuscript was rejected by Einaudi. The writers Cesare Pavese and Natalia Ginzburg thought it too early after the war for such an account. Levi managed to find a smaller publisher, De Silva, who printed 2,500 copies of the book, 1,500 of which were sold, mostly in Levi's hometown of Turin. In 1955, Levi signed a contract with Einaudi for a new edition, which was published in 1958. The initial printing of 2000 copies was followed by a second of the same size. An English translation
Gauss's lemma (Riemannian geometry) a linear map. This will therefore prove the lemma. Since the maps formula_75 are geodesics, the function formula_78 is constant. Thus, Gauss's lemma (Riemannian geometry) In Riemannian geometry, Gauss's lemma asserts that any sufficiently small sphere centered at a point in a Riemannian manifold is perpendicular to every geodesic through the point. More formally, let "M" be a Riemannian manifold, equipped with its Levi-Civita connection, and "p" a point of "M". The exponential map is a mapping from the tangent space at "p" to "M": which is a diffeomorphism in a neighborhood of zero. Gauss' lemma asserts that the image
