In the present book the tensor calculus of cuclidean 3-space is developed and then generalized so as to apply to a Riemannian space of any number of dimensions. The tensor calculus as here developed is applied in Chapters III and IV to the study of differential geometry of surfaces in 3-space, the material treated being equivalent to what appears in general in the first eight chapters of my former book with such additions as follow from the introduction of the concept of parallelism of Levi-Civita and the content of the tensor calculus. Of the many exercises in the book some involve merely direct application of the text, but most of them constitute an extension of it. In the writing of the book I have received valuable assistance and criticism from Professor H. P. Robertson and from my students, Messrs. Isaac Battin, Albert J. Coleman, Douglas R. Crosby, John Giese, Donald C. May, and in particular, Wayne Johnson. The excellent line drawings and half-tone illustrations were conceived and executed by Mr. John H. Lewis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e August 03, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52704624935219,"sku":"9781406717778","price":64.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/Ym9ySHg2bmh6VjFGZ1pLYlVsV2oyQT09.webp?v=1763362713","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/an-introduction-to-differential-geometry-with-the-use-of-tensor-calculus-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
