This textbook explains the classical theory of curves and surfaces, how to define and compute standard geometric functions, and how to apply techniques from analysis. With over 300 illustrations, 300 miniprograms, and many examples, it highlights important theorems and alleviates the drudgery of computations such as the curvature and torsion of a curve in space.
The third edition maintains its intuitive approach, reorganizes the material for a clearer division between the text and the Mathematica code, adds a Mathematica notebook (available online) as an appendix to each chapter, and addresses new topics such as quaternions.
