On a related note, and seeing that some people around here are interested to learn the topic from different angle: Gerald Jay Sussman (among others, co-author of Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs) has co-written a book on differential geometry called Functional Differential Geometry.
It builds up the theory of differential geometry using Scheme, just like SICP and SICM, and is a fantastic read for programmers wanting to grasp the topic in a more familiar language.
It is available for download for free on the publisher's website: https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/functional-differential-geometry https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/functional-differential-geome...
