Differential Geometry Of Three Dimensions

Аннотация

The present impression is substantially a reprint of the original work. Since the book was first published a few errors have been corrected, and one or two paragraphs rewritten. The demand for the book, since its first appearance twenty years ago, has justified the writer’s belief in the need for such a vectorial treatment. By the use of vector methods the presentation of the subject is both simplified and condensed, and students are encouraged to reason geometrically rather than analytically. At a later stage some of these students will proceed to the study of multidimensional differential geometry and the tensor calculus.
