Description for Differential Geometry: Curves - Surfaces - Manifolds
Paperback. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 412 pages, illustrations. BIC Classification: PBM; PBP. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 221 x 145 x 22. Weight in Grams: 478.
This carefully written book is an introduction to the beautiful ideas and results of differential geometry. The first half covers the geometry of curves and surfaces, which provide much of the motivation and intuition for the general theory. The second part studies the geometry of general manifolds, with particular emphasis on connections and curvature. The text is illustrated with many figures and examples. The prerequisites are undergraduate analysis and linear algebra. This new edition provides many advancements, including more figures and exercises, and--as a new feature--a good number of solutions to selected exercises.

Reviews for Differential Geometry: Curves - Surfaces - Manifolds
The book provides an excellent introduction to the differential geometry of curves, surfaces and Riemannian manifolds that should be accessible to a variety of readers… Frankly, this is a great book… even after only two chapters the reader is exposed to a lot of interesting mathematics. If you are looking to teach or learn differential geometry at an introductory level, ... Read more
