Math 622.600
Differential Geometry of Curves and
Surfaces
Math 622 is a comprehensive introduction to the geometry of curves and
surfaces in the plane and Euclidean three-dimensional space. In
recent years geometrically inspired methods have gained wide
acceptance in many areas of mathematics and applications. Math 622
provides necessary background for understanding these methods. Topics
developed in this course have applications in a variety of fields such
as geometric analysis, computational geometry, mathematical physics,
several complex variables, functional analysis, control theory, etc.
The course is designed especially to be accessible and useful to a
wide audience. Mathematics majors should also note that Math 622 and
its companion course Math 623 (Riemannian Geometry) are core courses
in the M.S. Program (traditional track) and are the foundation of the
Ph.D. Qualifying Examination in Geometry.
A complete course description and syllabus are available below.
