Currently reading Manifolds, Tensor Analysis, and Applications by Abraham et al. Basically, how do you do geometry and calculus on surfaces or objects that are enough like a surface?

For STEM nerds: this book discusses manifolds in infinite dimensional spaces as well as finite dimensions. I believe there is a fluid dynamics application in the book that requires the infinite dimensional theory. There are far simpler books to learn this material if you just need to speedrun into calculations, but I really want the "full story".
