An Introduction to Differential Geometry

---

This classic textbook provides a rigorous yet accessible introduction to the fundamental concepts of differential geometry, tailored for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics and physics. The text is divided into two primary parts: the first employs vector methods to explore the classical theory of curves and surfaces, while the second introduces the more modern language of tensor algebra, tensor calculus, and differential forms. Willmore’s treatment is particularly noted for its clear exposition of curvature (including Gaussian and mean curvature) and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, bridging the gap between historical geometric intuition and the abstract frameworks used in contemporary research.
