      \n
    1. Introduction and Overview <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    2. The Frenet Frame <\/a>.
      \n##       Homework 1. <\/a><\/li>\n
    3. Curves of constant curvature and torsion <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    4. The Bishop Frame <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    5. Link, Twist, and Writhe <\/a>. Correction: The integrals for Link<\/em> and Writhe<\/em> should be multiplied by 1\/(4 pi) in these notes. Thanks to Matt Mastin for pointing this out!<\/li>\n
    6. The Four-Vertex Theorem <\/a>.
      \n##       Homework 2. <\/a><\/li>\n
    7. The Fabricius-Bjerre Theorem <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    8. An Introduction to Integral Geometry <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    9. Integral Geometry II <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    10. Stuff turning inside out <\/a>.
      \n##       Homework 3. <\/a><\/li>\n
    11. Introduction to Regular Surfaces <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    12. Regular Surfaces as Level Sets of Smooth Functions <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    13. Tangent planes and differentials. Review of quadratic forms. <\/a>.<\/li>\n
    14. The first fundamental form. How to measure lengths, angles, and areas in the uv plane. <\/a>
      \n##       Homework 4. <\/a><\/li>\n
    15. The Gauss map and the second fundamental form. Defining the form. <\/a><\/li>\n
    16. The geometric meaning of the second fundamental form. The definition of Gauss and Mean curvature. <\/a>
      \n##       Homework 5. <\/a><\/li>\n
    17. The meaning of the second fundamental form, part II. Umbilic points, Asymptotic and Conjugate directions, the Dupin indicatrix. <\/a>&lt;br \/&gt; Sorry about the scan quality– these came out really light.<\/li>\n
    18. Computing with the second fundamental form in local coordinates. e, f, g, formulas for Gauss and Mean curvature. <\/a><\/li>\n
    19. Extracting geometric information from the Second Fundamental Form. Differential equations for asymptotic curves and lines of curvature. Surfaces of revolution. Graphs. <\/a>
      \n##       Homework 6. <\/a><\/li>\n
    20. Isometries, proof that Helicoid and Catenoid are isometric. There is no scan of these notes. Read 4.1 in DoCarmo.<\/em><\/li>\n
    21. The Christoffel symbols, proof of the Theorema Egregium, Mainardi-Codazzi equations and Gauss Formula, compatibility equations and theorem of Bonnet. <\/a><\/li>\n
    22. Theory of Geodesics, Geodesics on Surfaces of Revolution. <\/a> Note: This is really different than the corresponding chapter in DoCarmo, so you won’t be able to match it up as easily as you did the previous lecture notes.
      \n##       Some examples of geodesics near a black hole <\/a>
      \n##       (pdf version of the relativity examples) <\/a>
      \n##       Homework 7. <\/a><\/li>\n
    23. (Signed) geodesic curvature and the local Gauss-Bonnet theorem. <\/a> (These notes have everything there, but could make more sense. Read with a bit of caution. The reference here is McCleary, Geometry from the Differentiable Viewpoint, p. 173-177.)<\/li>\n
    24. The global Gauss Bonnet theorem, Euler characteristic, applications of G-B, conclusion.<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
