Differential Geometry

Manifolds, Curves, And Surfaces

Ranked #38 in Differential Geometry

This book is an introduction to modern differential geometry. The authors begin with the necessary tools from analysis and topology, including Sard's theorem, de Rham cohomology, calculus on manifolds, and a degree theory. The general theory is illustrated and expanded using the examples of curves and surfaces. In particular, the book contains the classical local and global theory of surfaces, including the fundamental forms, curvature, the Gauss-Bonnet formula, geodesics, and minimal surfaces. less
