About The Book
Differential Geometry by K. L. Wardle, published by Dover, offers a concise and accessible introduction to the differential geometry of curves and surfaces in space. Designed with clarity and simplicity in mind, this 112-page paperback is ideal for students beginning their exploration of geometric concepts and looking to build a strong foundation for more advanced studies.
The text emphasizes a geometric and intuitive understanding, beginning with the concepts of curvature and torsion via the spin-vector method. It continues with a study of surface curvature, paying special attention to developable and ruled surfaces. Vector methods are used throughout the book, but only basic vector algebra is required, making it suitable even for readers with minimal mathematical background.
Special types of surfaces are discussed through carefully chosen examples, and the inclusion of complete solutions allows readers to fully grasp key ideas and reinforce their learning. This well-structured volume balances intuition and rigor, making it a valuable resource for undergraduate students in mathematics, physics, and engineering disciplines.
