Goldberg\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc, United States\nImprint: Wiley-Interscience\nISBN-13: 9780471149583, 978-0471149583\nSynopsis\nComprehensive coverage of the foundations, applications, recent developments, and future of conformal differential geometry\n Conformal Differential Geometry and Its Generalizations is the first and only text that systematically presents the foundations and manifestations of conformal differential geometry. It offers the first unified presentation of the subject, which was established more than a century ago. The text is divided into seven chapters, each containing figures, formulas, and historical and bibliographical notes, while numerous examples elucidate the necessary theory.\n Clear, focused, and expertly synthesized, Conformal Differential Geometry and Its Generalizations\n * Develops the theory of hypersurfaces and submanifold.
