Course Description
This course is an introduction to differential geometry of curves and surfaces in three dimensional Euclidean space. First and second fundamental forms, Gaussian and mean curvature, parallel transport, geodesics, Gauss-Bonnet theorem, complete surfaces, minimal surfaces and Bernstein's theorem are among the main topics studied.
