Text:  Differential Geometry, by Wolfgang Kuhnel

This course will cover the first four chapters of the book, basically the theory of curves and surfaces
in Euclidean spaces. Prerequisites  are calculus, linear algebra, and the theory of ordinary differential
equations(here we call it math 224). No other  advanced knowledge of mathematics is required.

To pass the course, you must (a) come to class, (b) do the homework, and (c) read the book.
