MATH 4540
Course Description
Course information provided by the 2023-2024 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, MATH 1920-MATH 2940, or equivalent.
Distribution Category (MQR-AS, SMR-AS)
When Offered Spring.
Comments Students will be expected to be comfortable writing proofs. More experience with proofs may be gained by first taking a 3000-level MATH course. MATH 4530 is not a prerequisite.
Regular Academic Session. Choose one lecture and one project.
