β¦ Synopsis
This book is an introduction to modern differential geometry. The authors begin with the necessary tools from analysis and topology, including Sard's theorem, de Rham cohomology, calculus on manifolds, and a degree theory. The general theory is illustrated and expanded using the examples of curves and surfaces. In particular, the book contains the classical local and global theory of surfaces, including the fundamental forms, curvature, the Gauss-Bonnet formula, geodesics, and minimal surfaces.

Our first knowledge of differential geometry usually comes from the study of the curves and surfaces in $I\!\!R^3$ that arise in calculus. Here we learn about line and surface integrals, divergence and curl, and the various forms of Stokes' Theorem. If we are fortunate, we may encounter curvature an
This carefully written book is an introduction to the beautiful ideas and results of differential geometry. The first half covers the geometry of curves and surfaces, which provide much of the motivation and intuition for the general theory. The second part studies the geometry of general manifolds,
