Written primarily for students who have completed the standard first
courses in calculus and linear algebra, ELEMENTARY DIFFERENTIAL
GEOMETRY, REVISED SECOND EDITION, provides an introduction to the
geometry of curves and surfaces.
The Second Edition maintained the accessibility of the first, while
providing an introduction to the use of computers and expanding
discussion on certain topics. Further emphasis was placed on
topological properties, properties of geodesics, singularities of
vector fields, and the theorems of Bonnet and Hadamard.
This revision of the Second Edition provides a thorough update of
commands for the symbolic computation programs Mathematica or Maple,
as well as additional computer exercises. As with the Second Edition,
this material supplements the content but no computer skill is
necessary to take full advantage of this comprehensive text.
