Description for Curves and Surfaces (Graduate Studies in Mathematics)
Hardcover. Offers a focused point of view on the differential geometry of curves and surfaces. This monograph treats the Gauss - Bonnet theorem and discusses the Euler characteristic. It also covers Alexandrov's theorem on embedded compact surfaces in R3 with constant mean curvature. Series: Graduate Studies in Mathematics. Num Pages: 386 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 261 x 182 x 25. Weight in Grams: 852.
This introductory textbook puts forth a clear and focused point of view on the differential geometry of curves and surfaces. Following the modern point of view on differential geometry, the book emphasizes the global aspects of the subject. The excellent collection of examples and exercises (with hints) will help students in learning the material. Advanced undergraduates and graduate students will find this a nice entry point to differential geometry. In order to study the global properties of curves and surfaces, it is necessary to have more sophisticated tools than are usually found in textbooks on the topic. In particular, students ...
