Description

Book Synopsis
The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap between differential geometry of Euclidean space of three dimensions and the more advanced work on differential geometry of generalised space.

Table of Contents

Geodeics, Parallelism of Vectors; 6. Congruences and Orthogonal Ennuples; 7. Riemann Symbols. Curvature of a Riemannian Space; 8. Hypersurfaces; 9. Hypersurfaces in Euclidean Space. Spaces of Constant Curvature; 10. Subspaces of a Riemannian Space.
