Transformations or changes of Finsler metrics have many applications not only in differential geometry but also in various branches of science, especially in physics. These changes have been studied by many authors, from both the mathematical and physical aspects. G. Randers, in 1941, introduced the Randers change. M. Masumoto, in 1974, studied the Randers change and generalized Randers change. V. Kropina, in 1961, introduced the Kropina change. On the other hand, in 1976, M. Hashiguchi studied the conformal change of Finsler metrics. In 2008, S. Abed introduced the -conformal change, thus...

Adopting the pullback formalism, the present monograph provides a global presentation of the foundations of Finsler geometry. It deals mainly with the following items: 1. Theory of Finsler connections, 2. Special Finsler spaces, 3. Changes (conformal, projective, ...) in Finsler geometry. Some of the results contained in this monograph are new and others are generalization of known results. This monograph is highly recommended to both postgraduate students and researchers in Mathematics and Physics.
