The basic knowledge of the differential and integral calculus and analytic geometry is expected. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Mathematics - Economics (programme PřF, M-AM)

- Mathematics (programme PřF, M-MA)
- Mathematics (programme PřF, N-MA)
- Course objectives
- A rounded survey of the main ideas and results of the differential geometry of curves and surfaces in the euclidean three-space is presented. At the end of this course, students should be able to apply differential geometry in mathematical analysis and applied mathematics.
- Syllabus
- Parametric expressions and equations of curves and surfaces. Contact of two curves and of a curve with a surface. Arc of a curve, Frenet frame, curvature and torsion of spacial curves. Envelops. The first and the second fundamental from of a surface, mean and Gauss curva- tures. Inner geometry of surfaces.
