Mathematics : Geometry

This volume covers a broad range of subjects in modern geometry and related branches of mathematics, physics and computer science. Most of the papers show new, interesting results in Riemannian geometry, homotopy theory, theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras, topological analysis, integrable systems, quantum groups, and noncommutative geometry. There are also papers giving overviews of the recent achievements in some special topics, such as the Willmore conjecture, geodesic mappings, Weyl's tube formula, and integrable geodesic flows. This book provides a great chance for interchanging new results and ideas in multidisciplinary studies. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:. • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings). • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences. more...

The fifth edition of a classic work on curves and surfaces modelling. Curves and surfaces modelling is vital to manufacturing where two-dimensional planning and development (e.g. drawings and blueprints) need to be translated into three-dimensional forms (e.g. cars and buildings). A proven resource for those working with or developing features for computer-aided geometric design applications, Curves and Surfaces for CAGD distinguishes itself by its unified treatment of all the basic methods in curve and surface design. This new edition offers the same informal, friendly style and comprehensive approach as its predecessors, together with up-to-date coverage of the field's latest developments. It is an essential purchase for computer graphics enthusiasts, CAD/CAM developers, geometric modeling researchers, and scientists who program their own modeling applications. more...

The aim of this volume is to give an introduction and overview to differential topology, differential geometry and computational geometry with an emphasis on some interconnections between these three domains of mathematics. The chapters give the background required to begin research in these fields or at their interfaces. They introduce new research domains and both old and new conjectures in these different subjects show some interaction between other sciences close to mathematics. Topics discussed are; the basis of differential topology and combinatorial topology, the link between differential geometry and topology, Riemanian geometry (Levi-Civita connextion, curvature tensor, geodesic, completeness and curvature tensor), characteristic classes (to associate every fibre bundle with isomorphic fiber bundles), the link between differential geometry and the geometry of non smooth objects, computational geometry and concrete applications such as structural geology and graphism. more...
