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.
