Description

Book Synopsis
Offers 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.

Trade Review
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, Differential Geometry Curves—Surfaces—Manifolds is a great resource to have on hand." - Jason M. Graham, MAA Reviews
