Course Objective:
Math
109b is the second of three courses in the 109 sequence, and is an introduction to geometry.
We begin by considering the differential geometry of curves in three-dimensional space, developing such concepts as arc length, curvature and torsion.
The large part of Ma109b is dedicated to studying the differential geometry of surfaces in three-dimensional space. This includes both local and global properties.
Prerequisites: Ma 2 or
equivalent, and Ma 108 must be taken previously or concurrently. Text: M. do Carmo, Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces, Prentice-Hall, 1976.
Grading
Policy: Weekly homework (50%), a midterm (20%) and a final (30%). Contact:
