This textbook explores advanced topics in differential geometry, chosen for their particular relevance to modern geometry processing.

This textbook offers an introduction to differential geometry designed for readers interested in modern geometry processing. The final chapter highlights naturally reductive homogeneous manifolds and symmetric spaces, revealing the machinery needed to generalize important optimization techniques to Riemannian manifolds.

This book offers a detailed proof of the classification theorem for compact surfaces. It presents the technical tools needed to deploy the method effectively as well as demonstrates their use in a clearly structured, worked example.

Now in a second, expanded edition, this book bridges the gap between standard geometry books, which are primarily theoretical, and applied books on computer graphics and introduces a range of geometric methods including Lie groups and Euclidean geometry.

This books gives an introduction to discrete mathematics for beginning undergraduates. One of original features of this book is that it begins with a presentation of the rules of logic as used in mathematics. With this logical framework firmly in place, the book describes the major axioms of set theory and introduces the natural numbers.
