Learning Outcomes
| Learning outcomes |
It is an introductory course on global differential geometry. The aim is to study global geometric properties of regular plane curves and regular surfaces. The study requires tools from Linear Algebra, Calculus of several variables, Topology and elementary differential geometry. On completion of the course the student should be familiar with the interplay between local and global properties of curves and surfaces. |
