    I'd also like to recomend learning the Jacobi
    equation and how a Jacoby fields along geodesics
    behave. It involves the Ricci tensor or the like
    and then, to get things "on a ball" , you
    integrate over the vectors in the circle
    (or sphere) and you get the Ricci tensor
    ughh... or something like that I guess it's
    been a while since I worked this out, though I
    remember writing it in my notes. I do remember
    That I used Dr Baez's website almost as my sole
    inspiration, to study the stuff---and I had to
    go to Bishop Goldberg to understand the concept
    of sectional curvature.
