Description for Curves and Surfaces
Paperback.
The book provides an introduction to Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces. The theory of curves starts with a discussion of possible definitions of the concept of curve, proving in particular the classification of 1-dimensional manifolds. We then present the classical local theory of parametrized plane and space curves (curves in n-dimensional space are discussed in the complementary material): curvature, torsion, Frenet’s formulas and the fundamental theorem of the local theory of curves. Then, after a self-contained presentation of degree theory for continuous self-maps of the circumference, we study the global theory of plane curves, introducing winding and ... Read more

Reviews for Curves and Surfaces
From the reviews: “The authors’ goal in writing this book is to present the theory of curves and surfaces from the viewpoint of contemporary mathematics. … New concepts and new definitions are fully motivated, and illustrated by numerous examples. … the book is beautifully written, very well organized, and most of all it may serve as both a less ...
