Elementary Differential Geometry focuses on the elementary account of
the geometry of curves and surfaces. The book first offers information
on calculus on Euclidean space and frame fields. Topics include
structural equations, connection forms, frame fields, covariant
derivatives, Frenet formulas, curves, mappings, tangent vectors, and
differential forms. The publication then examines Euclidean geometry
and calculus on a surface. Discussions focus on topological properties
of surfaces, differential forms on a surface, integration of forms,
differentiable functions and tangent vectors, congruence of curves,
derivative map of an isometry, and Euclidean geometry. The manuscript
takes a look at shape operators, geometry of surfaces in E, and
Riemannian geometry. Concerns include geometric surfaces, covariant
derivative, curvature and conjugate points, Gauss-Bonnet theorem,
fundamental equations, global theorems, isometries and local
isometries, orthogonal coordinates, and integration and orientation.
The text is a valuable reference for students interested in elementary
differential geometry.
