MATH 655 - Differential Geometry

3 hours.
3 Credits

Differential geometry has applications in computer graphics, medical imaging, and vision. This course will familiarize students not necessarily with those applications but with the basic lexicon of differential geometry, and will be an introduction to Riemannian geometry in higher dimensions. Topics include: the exterior differential calculus, applications to curves and surfaces in 3-space, various notions of curvature.
