{"product_id":"elementary-differential-geometry-9781848828902","title":"Elementary Differential Geometry","description":"\u003cp\u003eElementary Differential Geometry presents the main results in the differential geometry of curves and surfaces suitable for a first course on the subject. Prerequisites are kept to an absolute minimum - nothing beyond first courses in linear algebra and multivariable calculus - and the most direct and straightforward approach is used throughout. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew features of this revised and expanded second edition include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea chapter on non-Euclidean geometry, a subject that is of great importance in the history of mathematics and crucial in many modern developments.
