Geometry of differential surfaces

5-11 August 2024

Title of the course: Geometry of differential surfaces
Instructor: Assoc. Prof. Nermin Salepci
Institution: Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1, Institut Camille Jordan
Dates: 5-11 August 2024
Prerequisites: Linear algebra (Euclidian spaces), Multivariable Calculus.
Level: Licence, graduate
Abstract: In this course we will concentrate on parametrized smooth surfaces in real Euclidian 3-space.  We will discuss metric properties of surfaces to understand mathematical description of « shape »  for the surfaces. Notions like Gaussian and mean curvature; asymptotic and geodesic curves will be covered.
Language: TR, EN
Textbook: It will be based on the book of  M.P. do Carmo titled “Differential Geometry of curves and surfaces”. These topics can be found on any elementary differential geometry book.
