DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY

Code: MATH349

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 1

Differential geometry studies distances and curvatures on manifolds through differentiation and integration. This module introduces the methods of differential geometry on the concrete examples of curves and surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Students following a pathway in theoretical physics might find this module interesting as it discusses a different aspect of differential geometry, and might take it together with MATH326 (Relativity) and MATH410 (Manifolds, homology and Morse theory).
