This course concerns the geometry of smooth curves and surfaces in R3. We will begin by looking at local properties, i.e., properties such as curvature, which are defined using a small neighbourhood of a point. We will go on to prove global results in which we study the curve or surface as whole. For example, the Gauss-Bonnet Theorem relates the geometry and topology of a surface. We will study special surfaces such as minimal surfaces, which are natural models for soap films.
