Learning outcomes

Learning objectives

The course introduces and elaborates the fundamental ideas of general topology and of the differential geometry of curve and surfaces, in a rigorous yet concrete and
example-based manner, so as to further develop the students' geometric intuition,
abstraction and analytical computing ability, also in view of applications to parallel and successive courses.

Program

*Programme
Topological spaces, continuous functions, omeomorphisms.
Compactness. Connectedness.
Plane and spatial curves: curvature, torsion, Fre'net's formulae. Fundamental theorem.
Regular parametric surfaces. First and second fundamental form.
Gaussian and mean curvature.
Gauss' Theorema Egregium. Covariant derivative, parallel transport.
Geodesics. The Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
Examples: quadrics, surfaces of revolution, ruled and minimal surfaces.
Projective, affine and metric classification of quadrics.

Examination Methods

Assessment

Written test, followed by an oral exam.

Students with disabilities or specific learning disorders (SLD), who intend to request the adaptation of the exam, must follow the instructions given HERE
