Introduction to Differential Geometry for Engineers (Pure & Applied Mathematics)

Product Description

Treats "the basic concepts and terminology of modern global differential geometry" for the benefit of engineers particularly control engineers. And unlike many books (written by authors who seem anxious to vanish as soon as possible over the nearest abstract horizon) which pretend to be "useful", this one shows every sign of having been actually and extensively field-tested. The authors adhere to the absolute essentials of their topic, and have been at pains to write with exquisite clarity. Index and brief bibliography, but no exercises.
