The third of three parts comprising Volume 54, the proceedings of the Summer Research Institute on Differential Geometry, held at the University of California, Los Angeles, July 1990 (ISBN for the set is 0-8218-1493-1). Part 3 begins with an overview by R.E. Greene of some recent trends in Riemannia
This classic work is now available in an unabridged paperback edition.
Differential geometry began as the study of curves and surfaces using the methods of calculus. This book offers a graduate-level introduction to the tools and structures of modern differential geometry.
This book combines the classical and contemporary approaches to differential geometry.
The text contains many problems and solutions, permitting the reader to apply the theorems and to see concrete developments of the abstract theory.
This English edition could serve as a text for a first year graduate course on differential geometry, as did for a long time the Chicago Notes of Chern mentioned in the Preface to the German Edition.
This text presents a graduate-level introduction to differential geometry for mathematics and physics students.
Six of the seven chapters of Act V can be read completely independently from the rest of the book.
This outstanding guide supplies important mathematical tools for diverse engineering applications, offering engineers the basic concepts and terminology of modern global differential geometry.
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.
These are the left-invariant affine geometries on R2. Associating to each Type ?? surface the space of solutions to the quasi-Einstein equation corresponding to the eigenvalue ?? = -1 turns out to be a very powerful technique and plays a ...
