DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY

MATH 865

Selected from advanced projective geometry, non-Euclidean geometry, Riemannian geometry, distance geometry and the geometry of convex surfaces, geometry of numbers.

MATH 221

Introduction to differential and integral calculus and plane analytic geometry; applications; transcendental functions.

MATH 765

Covers the metric properties of Riemannian manifolds. The following topics will be covered: Vector bundles and connections, Riemannian metrics, submanifolds and second fundamental form, first variation of arc length, geodesics, Hopf-Rinow theorem, second variation of arc length, Jacobi fields and index lemmas, Bonnet-Meyer theorem, Rauch comparison theorem, spaces of constant curvature, Hodge-de Rham theory. Familiarity with the topics in a differential manifolds course (e.g.MATH 761) is strongly recommended.

MATH 761

Differentiable manifolds, vector bundles, implicit function theorem, submersions and immersions, vector fields and flows, foliations and Frobenius theorem, differential forms and exterior calculus, integration and Stokes' theorem, De Rham theory, Riemannian metrics. Familiarity with basic undergraduate analysis coursesMATH 521and522orMATH 621) is strongly recommended.

MATH 222

Techniques of integration, improper integrals, first order ordinary differential equations, sequences and series, Taylor series, vector geometry in two and three dimensions.
