The purpose of this book is to give a simple, lucid, rigorous and comprehensive account of fundamental notions of Differential Geometry and Tensors. The book is self-contained and divided in two parts. Section A deals with Differential Geometry and Section B is devoted to the study of Tensors. Section A deals with: Theory of curves, envelopes and developables. Curves on surfaces and fundamental magnitudes, curvature of surfaces and lines of curvature. Fundamental equations of surface theory. Geodesics. Section B deals ...
