CONTENTS:
This is an introductory course on the theory of curves and surfaces in the three dimensional Euclidean space.
After developing the theory of curves, we will study the geometry of a surface from both intrinsic and extrinsic point of view.
Topics include first and second fundamental forms, various notions of curvature, and the famous Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
a. Geometry of the Guass map; Gaussian, mean and principal curvature
b. Geodesics
c. Gauss Theorem
d. Minimal surfaces
e. Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
f. Global Differential Geometry
