OverviewThis is a first textbook that is entirely focused on the up-to-date developments of null curves with their applications to science and engineering. It fills an important gap in a second-level course in differential geometry, as well as being essential for a core undergraduate course on Riemannian curves and surfaces. The sequence of chapters is arranged to provide in-depth understanding of a chapter and stimulate further interest in the next. The book comprises a large variety of solved examples and rigorous exercises that range from elementary to higher levels. This unique volume is self-contained and unified in presenting: Full Product DetailsAuthor: Krishan L Duggal (Univ Of Windsor, Canada) , Ho Jin Dae (Dongguk Univ, Korea)Publisher: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Imprint: World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Dimensions: Width: 17.40cm , Height: 2.30cm , Length: 24.90cm Weight: 0.671kg ISBN: 9789812706478ISBN 10: 981270647 Pages: 304 Publication Date: 04 September 2007 Audience: College/higher education , Undergraduate Format: Hardback Publisher's Status: Active Availability: Awaiting stock ![]() The supplier is currently out of stock of this item.
