The aim of studying and bibliography

The main aim of study: Getting knowledge about the notions and quantities characterizing curves and surfaces. Getting ability of classifying curves and surfaces and determining their geometric invariants such as curvatures.

The general information about the module: The module concerns a theory of spatial curves and surfaces. The theory of curves cntains the arclength parameter, the Frenet frame, fundamental theorems and theorems involving invariants. The surface theory leads to determining various curvatures (Gauss, mean, normal curvature) and classifying points of a surface. The Riemanian metric and properties of curves contained in a surface are also studied.
