Book Description

This is one of the first books on a newly emerging field of Discrete Differential Geometry (DDG) and an excellent way to access this exciting area. It surveys the fascinating connections between discrete models in differential geometry and complex analysis, integrable systems and applications in computer graphics.

This richly illustrated book will convince readers that this new branch of mathematics is both beautiful and useful. It will appeal to graduate students and researchers in differential geometry, complex analysis, mathematical physics, numerical methods, discrete geometry, as well as computer graphics and geometry processing.

• Alexander I. Bobenko is a professor at the Technische Universität Berlin. He is an author with Yuri Suris of the book "Discrete Differential Geometry", editor of several books on this topic and a co-organizer of the regular conference "Discrete Differential Geometry" in Oberwolfach. He is the Coordinator of the DFG Collaboration Research Center "Discretization in Geometry and Dynamics".

• Discrete Differential Geometry (Alexander I. Bobenko)

  An emerging field of Discrete Differential Geometry aims at the development of discrete equivalents of notions and methods of classical differential geometry. No knowledge of differential geometry is expected.

• Differential Geometry: From Elastic Curves to Willmore Surfaces

  This open access book covers the main topics for a course on the differential geometry of curves and surfaces. There is a strong focus on variational problems, ranging from elastic curves to surfaces that minimize area, or the Willmore functional.

• Differential Geometry: A Geometric Introduction

  This is the only book that introduces differential geometry through a combination of an intuitive geometric foundation, a rigorous connection with the standard formalisms, computer exercises with Maple, and a problems-based approach.

• Functional Differential Geometry (Gerald Jay Sussman, et al.)

  This open access book offers an innovative way to learn the differential geometry needed as a foundation for a deep understanding of general relativity or quantum field theory as taught at the college level.

• Lectures on Symplectic Geometry (Ana Cannas da Silva)

  The goal of these notes is to provide a fast introduction to symplectic geometry for graduate students with some knowledge of differential geometry, de Rham theory and classical Lie groups.

• Fractal Geometry: Mathematical Foundations and Applications

  This book has become a seminal text on the mathematics of Fractals. It introduces the general mathematical theory and applications of fractals in a way that is accessible to students from a wide range of disciplines.

• Elements of Discrete Mathematics (Richard Hammack)

  This book explains complex, abstract concepts with clarity and precision and provides a strong foundation for computer science and upper-level mathematics courses of the computer age.

• A Cool Brisk Walk Through Discrete Mathematics (Stephen Davies)

  This is a completely and forever free and open source educational materials dedicated to the mathematics that budding computer science practitioners actually need to know. They feature the fun and addictive teaching of award-winning lecturer!
