<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>One of the most widely used texts in its field, this volume's clear, well-written exposition is enhanced by many examples and exercises, some with hints and answers. 1976 edition.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>One of the most widely used texts in its field, this volume introduces the differential geometry of curves and surfaces in both local and global aspects. The presentation departs from the traditional approach with its more extensive use of elementary linear algebra and its emphasis on basic geometrical facts rather than machinery or random details. Many examples and exercises enhance the clear, well-written exposition, along with hints and answers to some of the problems.<br>The treatment begins with a chapter on curves, followed by explorations of regular surfaces, the geometry of the Gauss map, the intrinsic geometry of surfaces, and global differential geometry. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students of mathematics, this text's prerequisites include an undergraduate course in linear algebra and some familiarity with the calculus of several variables. For this second edition, the author has corrected, revised, and updated the entire volume.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><p>One of the most widely used texts in its field, this volume introduces the differential geometry of curves and surfaces in both local and global aspects.
