Finsler geometry generalizes Riemannian geometry in exactly the same way that Banach spaces generalize Hilbert spaces. This book presents expository accounts of six important topics in Finsler geometry at a level suitable for a special topics graduate course in differential geometry. The contributors consider issues related to volume, geodesics, curvature and mathematical biology, and include a variety of instructive examples.
