Differential Geometry I

Differential geometry studies local and global properties of curved spaces.

Topics of the lecture will be:

  • Curves and surfaces in Euclidean space
  • Metrics and (Riemannian) manifolds
  • Surface tension and notions of curvature
  • Vector fields, tensors, covariant derivative
  • Geodesic curves, exponential map
  • Gauß-Bonnet theorem, curvature and topology
  • Connection to discrete differential geometry

Prerequisits: Analysis I, II and Linear Algebra I, II
