Stoker makes this fertile branch of mathematics accessible to the nonspecialist by the use of three different notations: vector algebra and calculus, tensor calculus, and the notation devised by Cartan, which employs invariant differential forms as elements in an algebra due to Grassman, combined with an operation called exterior differentiation. Assumed are a passing acquaintance with linear algebra and the basic elements of analysis.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eChapter I Operations with Vectors.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter II Plane Curves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter III Space Curves.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter IV The Basic Elements of Surface Theory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter V Some Special Surfaces.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter VI The Partial Differential Equations of SurfaceTheory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter VII Inner Differential Geometry in the Small from theExtrinsic Point of View.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter VIII Differential Geometry in the Large.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter IX Intrinsic Diferential Geometry of Manifolds.Relativity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Chapter X The Wedge Product and the Exterior Derivative ofDifferential Forms, with Applications to Surface Theory.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix A Tensor Algebra in Affine, Euclidean, and MinkowskiSpaces.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Appendix B Differential Equations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Bibliography.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Index.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Mathematics [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Mathematics\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Mathematics%20%5BPB%5D%22\"\u003ePB\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Interscience","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52511130288408,"sku":"9780471504030","price":127.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780471504030.jpg?v=1786585052","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/differential-geometry-paperback-softback-9780471504030","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
