Differential Geometry | Gupta, Malik Pundir

Editors: Bobenko, Alexander I. (Ed.)
One of the first books on a newly emerging field of discrete differential geometry
Excellent way to access this new exciting area
Topics survey fascinating connections of discrete models in differential geometry to complex analysis, integrable systems, and to applications in computer graphics

The editors of the highly esteemed Journal of Differential Geometry (published by International Press) each year present a new volume of Surveys in Differential Geometry, a collection of original contributions upon a specially chosen topic pertaining to differential geometry and related topics.

This text presents a graduate-level introduction to differential geometry for mathematics and physics students. The exposition follows the historical development of the concepts of connection and curvature with the goal of explaining the Chern–Weil theory of characteristic classes on a principal bundle.
