Excerpt from The Elementary Differential Geometry of Plane Curves This tract is intended to present a precise account of the elementary differential properties of plane curves. The matter contained is in no sense new, but a suitable connected treatment in the English language has not been available. As a result, a number of interesting misconceptions are current in English text books. It is sufficient to mention two somewhat striking examples, (a) According to the ordinary definition of an envelope, as the locus of the limits of points of intersection of neighbouring curves, a curve is not the envelope of its circles of curvature, for neighbouring circles of curvature do not intersect. (b) The definitions of an asymptote - (1) a straight line, the distance from which of a point on the curve tends to zero as the point tends to infinity; (2) the limit of a tangent to the curve, whose point of contact tends to infinity - are not equivalent. The curve may have an asymptote according to the former definition, and the tangent may exist at every point, but have no limit as its point of contact tends to infinity. The subjects dealt with, and the general method of treatment, are similar to those of the usual chapters on geometry in any Cours d' Analyse, except that in general plane curves alone are considered. At the same time extensions to three dimensions are made in a somewhat arbitrary selection of places, where the extension is immediate, and forms a natural commentary on the two dimensional work, or presents special points of interest (Frenet's formulae). To make such extensions systematically would make the tract too long. The subject matter being wholly classical, no attempt has been made to give full references to sources of information; the reader however is referred at most stages to the analogous treatment of the subject in the Cours or Traite d' Analyse of de la Vallée Poussin, Goursat, Jordan or Picard, works to which the author is much indebted.

From the PREFACE. THIS tract is intended to present a precise account of the elementary differential properties of plane curves. The matter contained is in no sense new, but a suitable connected treatment in the English language has not been available. As a result, a number of interesting misconceptions are current in English text books. It is sufficient to mention two somewhat striking examples, (a) According to the ordinary definition of an envelope, as the locus of the limits of points of intersection of neighbouring curves, a curve is not the envelope of its circles of curvature, for neighbouring circles of curvature do not intersect. (b) The definitions of an asymptote-(1) a straight line, the distance from which of a point on the curve tends to zero as the point tends to infinity; (2) the limit of a tangent to the curve, whose point of contact tends to infinity-are not equivalent. The curve may have an asymptote according to the former definition, and the tangent may exist at every point, but have no limit as its point of contact tends to infinity. The subjects dealt with, and the general method of treatment, are similar to those of the usual chapters on geometry in any Cours d'Analyse, except that in general plane curves alone are considered. At the same time extensions to three dimensions are made in a somewhat arbitrary selection of places, where the extension is immediate, and forms a natural commentary on the two dimensional work, or presents special points of interest (Frenet's formulae). To make such extensions systematically would make the tract too long. The subject matter being wholly classical, no attempt has been made to give full references to sources of information; the reader however is referred at most stages to the analogous treatment of the subject in the Cours or Traite d'Analyse of de la Vallee Poussin, Goursat, Jordan or Picard, works to which the author is much indebted. In general the functions, which define the curves under consideration, are (as usual) assumed to have as many continuous differential coefficients as may be mentioned. In places, however, more particularly at the beginning, this rule is deliberately departed from, and the greatest generality is sought for in the enunciation of any theorem. The determination of the necessary and sufficient conditions for the truth of any theorem is then the primary consideration. In the proofs of the elementary theorems, where this procedure is adopted, it is believed that this treatment will be found little more laborious than any rigorous treatment, and that it provides a connecting link between Analysis and more complicated geometrical theorems, in which insistence on the precise necessary conditions becomes tedious and out of place, and suitable sufficient conditions can always be tacitly assumed. At an earlier stage the more precise formulation of conditions may be regarded as (1) an important grounding for the student of Geometry, and (2) useful practice for the student of Analysis. The introductory chapter is a collection of somewhat disconnected theorems which are required for reference. The reader can omit it, and to refer to it as it becomes necessary for the understanding of later chapters....

Excerpt from The Elementary Differential Geometry of Plane Curves A limited selection of examples is given at the ends of the chapters. Besides their more Obvious function, these are intended to provide a summary of some of the more important extensions of the theorems proved in the text. References or sketches of a proof are therefore given in such cases, which should enable the reader to complete the proofs.

Curves and surfaces are objects that everyone can see, and many of the questions that can be asked about them are natural and easily understood. Differential geometry is concerned with the precise mathematical formulation of some of these questions, and with trying to answer them using calculus techniques. It is a subject that contains some of the most beautiful and profound results in mathematics yet many of these are accessible to higher-level undergraduates. Elementary Differential Geometry presents the main results in the differential geometry of curves and surfaces while keeping the prerequisites to an absolute minimum. Nothing more than first courses in linear algebra and multivariate calculus are required, and the most direct and straightforward approach is used at all times. Numerous diagrams illustrate both the ideas in the text and the examples of curves and surfaces discussed there. The book will provide an invaluable resource to all those taking a first course in differential geometry, for their lecturers, and for all others interested in the subject. Andrew Pressley is Professor of Mathematics at King’s College London, UK. The Springer Undergraduate Mathematics Series (SUMS) is a series designed for undergraduates in mathematics and the sciences worldwide. From core foundational material to final year topics, SUMS books take a fresh and modern approach and are ideal for self-study or for a one- or two-semester course. Each book includes numerous examples, problems and fully worked solutions.

Elementary Differential Geometry focuses on the elementary account of the geometry of curves and surfaces. The book first offers information on calculus on Euclidean space and frame fields. Topics include structural equations, connection forms, frame fields, covariant derivatives, Frenet formulas, curves, mappings, tangent vectors, and differential forms. The publication then examines Euclidean geometry and calculus on a surface. Discussions focus on topological properties of surfaces, differential forms on a surface, integration of forms, differentiable functions and tangent vectors, congruence of curves, derivative map of an isometry, and Euclidean geometry. The manuscript takes a look at shape operators, geometry of surfaces in E, and Riemannian geometry. Concerns include geometric surfaces, covariant derivative, curvature and conjugate points, Gauss-Bonnet theorem, fundamental equations, global theorems, isometries and local isometries, orthogonal coordinates, and integration and orientation. The text is a valuable reference for students interested in elementary differential geometry.

This book is a posthumous publication of a classic by Prof. Shoshichi Kobayashi, who taught at U.C. Berkeley for 50 years, recently translated by Eriko Shinozaki Nagumo and Makiko Sumi Tanaka. There are five chapters: 1. Plane Curves and Space Curves; 2. Local Theory of Surfaces in Space; 3. Geometry of Surfaces; 4. Gauss–Bonnet Theorem; and 5. Minimal Surfaces. Chapter 1 discusses local and global properties of planar curves and curves in space. Chapter 2 deals with local properties of surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. Two types of curvatures — the Gaussian curvature K and the mean curvature H —are introduced. The method of the moving frames, a standard technique in differential geometry, is introduced in the context of a surface in 3-dimensional Euclidean space. In Chapter 3, the Riemannian metric on a surface is introduced and properties determined only by the first fundamental form are discussed. The concept of a geodesic introduced in Chapter 2 is extensively discussed, and several examples of geodesics are presented with illustrations. Chapter 4 starts with a simple and elegant proof of Stokes’ theorem for a domain. Then the Gauss–Bonnet theorem, the major topic of this book, is discussed at great length. The theorem is a most beautiful and deep result in differential geometry. It yields a relation between the integral of the Gaussian curvature over a given oriented closed surface S and the topology of S in terms of its Euler number χ(S). Here again, many illustrations are provided to facilitate the reader’s understanding. Chapter 5, Minimal Surfaces, requires some elementary knowledge of complex analysis. However, the author retained the introductory nature of this book and focused on detailed explanations of the examples of minimal surfaces given in Chapter 2.
