Educational objectives

Learning objectives

The course introduces and elaborates the fundamental ideas of general topology and of the differential geometry of curve and surfaces, in a rigorous yet concrete and
example-based manner, so as to further develop the students' geometric intuition,
abstraction and analytical computing ability, also in view of applications to parallel and successive courses.

Syllabus

*Programme
Topological spaces, continuous functions, omeomorphisms.
Compactness. Connectedness.
Plane and spatial curves: curvature, torsion, Fre'net's formulae. Fundamental theorem.
Regular parametric surfaces. First and second fundamental form.
Gaussian and mean curvature.
Gauss' Theorema Egregium. Covariant derivative, parallel transport.
Geodesics. The Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
Examples: quadrics, surfaces of revolution, ruled and minimal surfaces.
Projective, affine and metric classification of quadrics.
