Differential Geometry: Curves, Surfaces, Manifolds

by Wolfgang K'Uhnel and Wolfgang Kühnel

Book Overview

This carefully written book is an introduction to the beautiful ideas and results of differential geometry. The first half covers the geometry of curves and surfaces, which provide much of the motivation and intuition for the general theory. The second part studies the geometry of general manifolds, with particular emphasis on connections and curvature. The text is illustrated with many figures and examples. The prerequisites are undergraduate analysis...
