MATH 4540
Introduction to Differential Geometry

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

Differential geometry involves using calculus to study geometric concepts such as curvature and geodesics. This introductory course focuses on the differential geometry of curves and surfaces. It may also touch upon the higher-dimensional generalizations, Riemannian manifolds, which underlie the study of general relativity. Students will be expected to be comfortable writing proofs. More experience with proofs may be gained by first taking a 3000-level MATH course.


Prerequisites MATH 2210 or MATH 2230 or MATH 2310 or MATH 2940; MATH 2220 or MATH 2240 or MATH 1920; or equivalents.
