Where can I find a full proof of the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet theorem ? Hello, 
I am looking for a proof for the Chern-Gauss-Bonnet theorem. All I have found so far that I find satisfactory is a proof that the euler class defined via Chern-Weil theory is equal to the pullback of the Thom class by the zero section, but I would like a proof of the fact that this class gives the Euler characteristic when coupled to the fundamental class. Thanks in advance. 
 A: One reference that seems fairly good and that I just found by googling those key words is https://web.archive.org/web/20100524152105/http://www.math.upenn.edu/~alina/GaussBonnetFormula.pdf.
The first time I learnt this, however, was with these lecture notes:
F. Mercuri, P. Piccione, D. V. Tausk, Notes on Morse theory, Publicações Matemáticas do IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, 2001, ISBN 85-244-0178-8; which maybe a little hard to find, but are very nicely written and I like them very much. Though, the proof you are looking for should be widely available elsewhere (google gives thousands of results, and I only looked at the first ones)...
A: For a complete proof of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern for arbitrary vector bundles (not just tangent bundles) see Section 8.3.2  of  these notes. The proof is Chern's original proof,  based on Chern-Weil theory, but the language is more modern.
For a purely topological proof, see  Section 5.3 of   these  notes.
A: Chern's original paper may be found at:  Chern, Shiing-Shen (1945), "On the curvatura integra in Riemannian manifold", Annals of Mathematics 46 (4): 674–684; this citing quoted from the Wikipedia entry, though I have a copy of the
original paper somewhere in the piles in my office.
