This lecture notes give a survey of basic facts related to geometry of manifolds
endowed with a torsion free connection. We pay the attention especially on geometries
which come from the existence on some characteristic torsion free connection
closely related to some metric, in general case of an arbitrary signature. So we study
in this spirit affine differential geometry, Weyl and Codazzi geometries. One can
join naturally these two structures: a torsion free connection and a metric, and the
corresponding groups of transformations. We present basic facts related to these
groups. To study geometry of manifolds endowed with a torsion free connection, a
powerful tool is, of course, the corresponding curvatures. Therefore the curvature
is appeared in all five sections of this lecture notes.
