Hardback. Num Pages: 430 pages, 89 black & white illustrations. BIC Classification: PBMP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade); (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 199 x 246 x 26. Weight in Grams: 920.
Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces, Second Edition takes both an analytical/theoretical approach and a visual/intuitive approach to the local and global properties of curves and surfaces. Requiring only multivariable calculus and linear algebra, it develops students' geometric intuition through interactive computer graphics applets supported by sound theory. The book explains the reasons for various definitions while the interactive applets offer motivation for certain definitions, allow students to explore examples further, and give a visual explanation of complicated theorems. The ability to change parametric curves and parametrized surfaces in ... Read more
