Description
Elementary Differential Geometry presents the main results in the differential geometry of curves and surfaces suitable for a first course on the subject. With minimal prerequisites, this book uses a straightforward approach to introduce key concepts.
New features of this revised edition include a chapter on non-Euclidean geometry, which is crucial in many modern developments. The book also covers topics such as parallel transport, map colouring, and holonomy, with over 200 additional exercises available for further practice.
