This book introduces differential geometry and cutting-edge
findings from the discipline by incorporating both classical
approaches and modern discrete differential geometry across all
facets and applications, including graphics and imaging, physics
and networks. With curvature as the centerpiece, the authors
present the development of differential geometry, from curves to
surfaces, thence to higher dimensional manifolds; and from smooth
structures to metric spaces, weighted manifolds and complexes, and
to images, meshes and networks. The first part of the book is a
differential geometric study of curves and surfaces in the
Euclidean space, enhanced while the second part deals with higher
dimensional manifolds centering on curvature by exploring the
various ways of extending it to higher dimensional objects and more
general structures and how to return to lower dimensional
constructs. The third part focuses on computational algorithms in
algebraic topology and conformal geometry, applicable for surface
parameterization, shape registration and structured mesh
generation. The volume will be a useful reference for students of
mathematics and computer science, as well as researchers and
engineering professionals who are interested in graphics and
imaging, complex networks, differential geometry and curvature.
