一、課程說明(Course Description)

Differential geometry of curves and surfaces in Euclidean spaces, is an introduction to
the
geometry of Riemannian manifolds.
The course presents intrinsic and extrinsic properties, both from a local and a global
point of
view.
Here are materials that will be covered in this course: plane and space curves,
surfaces,
metrics on surfaces, Gaussian curvature, surfaces of constant curvature, shape
operator,
mean curvature and minimal surfaces, vector fields on surfaces.
