Differential geometry d somasundaram pdf download

Harvard univ

Large and comprehensive book covering both local and global results. Many illustrations. Uses Mathematica throughout and includes a great deal of useful code. Contains significantly more material than the first two editions. It contains Mathematica notebooks to accompany the text. This book is unusual in that it covers curves, but not surfaces. The goal of this little book is to make the topic of differential forms accessible to students at the sophomore level and above.

This book is a detailed introduction to the classical theory of curves and surfaces which is offered as a core subject in mathematics at the post-graduate level in most of our universities. Based on Serret-Frenet formulae, the theory of space curves is developed. The theory of surfaces includes the first fundamental form with local intrinsic properties, geodesies on surfaces, the second fundamental form with local non-intrinsic properties and the fundamental equations of the surface theory with several applications.
