【Course Objectives】

Students will learn how to handle curves and surfaces accurately. In addition, we will learn about the curvature, which is an important invariant of these objects.

【Course Contents】

Curves and surfaces are common concepts in our daily lives, and we will use our knowledge of calculus to investigate them in detail. In the first part of the course, we will discuss curves, and learn what it means to treat them mathematically and rigorously. In addition, we will introduce the curvature, a basic invariant, and explain its geometric meaning.
Next, we deal with smooth surfaces (regular surfaces) and define the quantities called the first and second fundamental forms. After introducing principal curvature by geometric considerations, and thereby defining Gaussian and mean curvatures, we will see that these can be expressed in terms of the first and second fundamental forms. Then the relation between curvature and local shape of a surface is discussed, and an introductory exposition of minimal surfaces is given as an important example of surfaces. Finally, we will prove Gauss's fundamental theorem, which states that Gaussian curvature is actually determined only by the first fundamental form.
