It has remained in continuous print, reflecting its enduring relevance and significance in scholarly and professional discourse. One of the most widely used texts in its field, this volume has been continuously in print since its initial 1976 publication. Many examples and exercises, some with hints and answers, enhance the clear, well-written exposition. Prerequisites include an undergraduate course in linear algebra and some familiarity with the calculus of several variables. Comprehensive Coverage : The volume introduces a chapter on curves, followed by explorations of regular surfaces, the geometry of the Gauss map, the intrinsic geometry of surfaces, and global differential geometry. It provides a thorough understanding of key concepts and techniques. Clear Exposition : The presentation departs from the traditional approach with its more extensive use of elementary linear algebra and its emphasis on basic geometrical facts rather than machinery or random details. Examples and Exercises : The book includes numerous examples and exercises that enhance the learning experience. These practical applications solidify understanding and provide opportunities for practice and self-assessment. Hints and Answers : Hints and answers to selected problems are provided, allowing readers to check their work and gain further insights into the subject matter. Updated Edition : This second edition has been corrected, revised, and updated by the author, ensuring that the content remains current and relevant. Suitable for Advanced Study : While suitable for advanced undergraduates, this text is also appropriate for graduate students of mathematics. Prerequisites include an undergraduate course in linear algebra and some familiarity with calculus of several variables. About the author: Manfredo P. do Carmo was a Brazilian mathematician and authority in the very active field of differential geometry. He was an emeritus researcher at Rio's National Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics and the author of Differential Forms and Applications. Review: A spectacular book on the subject - I wish that this book was available when I took a senior level differential geometry course in college. Very good diagrams, careful attention to detail My only suggestion would be to have larger dimensions for the book so that the fonts are larger and easier to read. Here and there, I have to use a magnifier to be able to clearly see superscripts and subscripts Review: Good Content. Good Quality. Good Price. - Very good intro to differential geometry. The prerequisites are: a basic course in linear algebra, calculus, and an intro course in real analysis. Anything more than this (such as a course on differential equations) would be helpful but isn't necessary. With the said prerequisites, you should be able to follow most, if not all, the proofs. Hard cover books obviously tend to be more durable and longer lasting than paperback ones. However, I'm actually pleased with this book. The paper quality and printing is good and the binding is standard quality for a paperback book. If you treat the book reasonably, then the book should definitely last you long enough to read the book inside and out. There are still typos (ranging from grammatical errors to typos such as h_{uu} instead of h_{vu} or a missing "<") but there aren't a lot of them, so confusion due to typos should be minimal. Overall, the math content of the book is perfect for a first introduction to differential geometry. The quality of the physical paperback book is also pretty good, considering you can buy it for a good price of $20. If you have $20 and are trying to learn differential geometry for the very first time, I'd recommend buying this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #145,575 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Differential Geometry (Books) #6 in Topology (Books) #37 in Mathematics Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 244 Reviews | ## Images ![Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces: Revised and Updated Second Edition (Dover Books on Mathematics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81EYerFXQKL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A spectacular book on the subject *by T***L on March 7, 2025* I wish that this book was available when I took a senior level differential geometry course in college.
