Objective The aim of the course is to provide the student with basic knowledge and skills in elementary differential geometry of curves and surfaces in local parametric treatment.
Content Curves in R3: Frenet formulas and Fundamental Theorem. Regular surfaces. Inverse image of regular values. Differentiable functions on surfaces. Tangent plane; the differential of a map, vector fields, the first fundamental form. Gauss map, second fundamental form, normal, principal curvatures. Manifolds, tangent spaces and Lie bracket
Course Learning Outcomes At the end of the course the student should be able to
1. cope with modelling problems from diverse fields.
2. solve various problems in differential geometry and mechanics
