Elementary Differential Geometry

by Barrett O'Neill
Elementary Differential Geometry
Elementary Differential Geometry

Curves and surfaces made vivid and accessible

This is a great pick if you want differential geometry to feel understandable rather than intimidating. Readers often love how it builds from calculus and linear algebra into beautiful ideas about curves, surfaces, and geodesics with lots of examples and illustrations. It feels like a patient, well-guided introduction that still gives you enough depth to appreciate the elegance of the subject.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Condition guide

Book Condition Guide

Books in Like New Condition

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition

This is a well-read book, which means that the previous owner probably really enjoyed it! The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

Written primarily for readers who have completed standard first courses in calculus and linear algebra, Elementary Differential Geometry (Second Edition) provides an introduction to the geometry of curves and surfaces. While the popular First Edition has been extensively modified, this Second Edition maintains the elementary character of that volume, while introducing the use of computers and expanding discussion on certain topics. Emphasis is placed on topological properties, the properties of geodesics, singularities of vector fields, and the theorems of Bonnet and Hadamard. For readers with access to symbolic computation programs such as Mathematica or Maple, the book includes approximately 30 optional computer exercises. These are not essential to the core text, but rather an extension. No computer skill is necessary to take full advantage of this comprehensive text. It provides detailed examples for all essential ideas, more than 300 exercises, and more than 200 illustrations. It also includes an introduction to using computers and provides answers to computer exercises for both Mathematica and Maple systems.
