Introduction to Lorentz Geometry: Curves and Surfaces by Ivo Terek Couto & Alexandre Lymberopoulos instant download

Lorentz Geometry represents a very important intersection between mathematics and physics, and is the mathematical language of general relativity. Learning this type of geometry is the first step in properly understanding questions regarding the structure of the universe, such as: What is the shape of the universe? What is spacetime? What is the relationship between gravity and curvature? Why exactly is time treated in a different manner than other spatial dimensions? Introduction to Lorentz Geometry: Curves and Surfaces intends to provide the reader with the minimum mathematical background needed to pursue these very interesting questions, by simultaneously presenting the classical theory of curves and surfaces in both Euclidean and Lorentzian ambient spaces. Features: More than 300 exercises, Suitable for senior undergraduates and graduates studying mathematics and physics, Written in an accessible style without loss of precision or mathematical rigor,Solution manual available on www.routledge.com/9780367468644.
