Course objectives
Covering part of the requirements of the Comprehensive Exam in Mathematics, the course introduces basic concepts, methods, and applications of geometry of subspaces, curves and subvarieties in Euclidean space.
Syllabus
  • Affine and Euclidean spaces and subspaces, affine maps and isometries, affine and Cartesian coordinates.
    Distance and inclination of subspaces in Euclidean space, the volume of a parallelepiped.
    Applications in planimetry, stereometry, and coding theory.
    Curves in Euclidean space, parameterization; Frenet frame, curvatures, Frenet--Serret equations; evolutes and involutes.
    Subvartieties in Euclidean space, regular parameterization, tangent space, directional derivative, the first fundamental form, vector field, Lie bracket.
    Hypersurfaces in Euclidean space, normal vector, covariant derivative, the second fundamental form, Gauss--Weingarten equations; parallel displacement, geodesics; principal curvatures.
    Applications in cartography and physics.
