Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces

Explore the fascinating world of geometry with Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces by Shoshichi Kobayashi. Published by Springer Verlag in 2019, this comprehensive paperback edition spans 192 pages, providing an in-depth look at the essential concepts of differential geometry.

Delve into Chapter 2, where local properties of surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space are examined, offering readers a clear understanding of foundational geometrical principles. In Chapter 3, the Riemannian metric on a surface is introduced, focusing on properties that are determined solely by the first fundamental form. This book is an invaluable resource for students and professionals alike, enhancing your knowledge and appreciation of the geometric structures that shape our world.

Whether you are a seasoned mathematician or just beginning your journey into differential geometry, this book is a must-have addition to your collection.
