MATH 4540
Introduction to Differential Geometry

Course information provided by the 2018-2019 Catalog.

Differential geometry involves using calculus to study geometric concepts such as curvature and geodesics. This introductory course focuses on the differential geometry of curves and surfaces. It may also touch upon the higher-dimensional generalizations, Riemannian manifolds, which underlie the study of general relativity.


Prerequisites/Corequisites Prerequisite: MATH 2210-MATH 2220, MATH 2230-MATH 2240, or MATH 2930-MATH 2940, plus at least one mathematics course numbered 3000 or above. Students will be expected to be comfortable with proofs.
