A Differential Approach to Geometry: Geometric Trilogy III by Francis Borceux
English | EPUB | 2013 | 462 Pages | ISBN : 3319017357 | 5.9 MB
This book presents the classical theory of curves in the plane and three-dimensional space, and the classical theory of surfaces in three-dimensional space. It pays particular attention to the historical development of the theory and the preliminary approaches that support contemporary geometrical notions. It includes a chapter that lists a very wide scope of plane curves and their properties. The book approaches the threshold of algebraic topology, providing an integrated presentation fully accessible to undergraduate-level students.
