MATH 5433G - Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces (3 Credit Hours)

Lecture Hours: 3 Lab Hours: 0
Differential geometry uses tools from calculus and linear algebra to study the geometric properties of smooth curves and surfaces in Euclidean spaces. Topics include: arc length surface area, geodesics, curvature, first and second fundamental forms, Gauss-Bonnett formula. Graduate students will complete assignments beyond the scope of the undergraduate requirements. These assignments require higher-level mastery of the subject matter and additional deliverables representative of graduate-level work, as determined by the instructor.

Prerequisite(s): A minimum grade of “C” in MATH 2243 and MATH 2160.
Cross Listing(s): MATH 5433.
Restriction(s): NO Undergraduate Level Students
