- Exercises 2 and 4 on sheet 6 have been updated. For 2, you should assume that U is path-connected. Exercise 4 also gets a connectedness condition.
- Due to the public holiday on May 30, Max's office hours for that week will be on Wednesday, May 29, from 1-2pm.
- Please note the room change for the Wednesday tutorial. It will from now on take place in MA851.
- The tutorial session on April 24 is cancelled.
- The first exercise sheet will be due on April 26, to account for Easter holidays. There will be no lectures or tutorials on April 19 as well as April 22.
Topics
Differential geometry of smooth curves and surfaces in two-
and three-dimensional euclidean space.
Homework
Homework assignments will be due each Friday at the beginning of
lecture;
they are to be turned in by groups of two students.
To get the Übungsschein, you need to get at least 60% of the points
on the homework (on average over the course of the semester). This
amounts to a total of 132 points.
Lecture Notes
An updated version of the lecture notes is now available
here.
Sullivan's lecture notes from Summer 2015 are available
here.
