Description for Cartan for Beginners: Differential Geometry via Moving Frames and Exterior Differential Systems
Hardback. Two central aspects of Cartan's approach to differential geometry are the theory of exterior differential systems (EDS) and the method of moving frames. This book presents thorough and modern treatments of both subjects, including their applications to both classic and contemporary problems in geometry. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 455 pages. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 188 x 266 x 28. Weight in Grams: 976.
Two central aspects of Cartan's approach to differential geometry are the theory of exterior differential systems (EDS) and the method of moving frames. This book presents thorough and modern treatments of both subjects, including their applications to both classic and contemporary problems in geometry. It begins with the classical differential geometry of surfaces and basic Riemannian geometry in the language of moving frames, along with an elementary introduction to exterior differential systems. Key concepts are developed incrementally, with motivating examples leading to definitions, theorems, and proofs. Once the basics of the methods are established, the authors develop ... Read more
