MATH-186 : Introduction to Differential Geometry

In this elementary introductory course, we develop much of the language and many of the basic concepts of differential geometry in the simpler context of curves and surfaces in ordinary 3 dimensional Euclidean space. Our aim is to build both a solid mathematical understanding of the fundamental notions of differential geometry and sufficient visual and geometric intuition of the subject.
