OverviewThis book is a comprehensive report of recent developments in Finsler geometry and Spray geometry. Riemannian geometry and pseudo-Riemannian geometry are treated as the special case of Finsler geometry. The geometric methods developed in this subject are useful for studying some problems arising from biology, physics, and other fields. Audience: The book will be of interest to graduate students and mathematicians in geometry who wish to go beyond the Riemannian world. Scientists in nature sciences will find the geometric methods presented useful.
