Constant mean curvature (CMC) surfaces are a central object in differential geometry, representing surfaces whose average principal curvature remains uniform across every point. These surfaces can be ...
Differential geometry is the application of differential calculus in the setting of smooth manifolds (curves, surfaces and higher dimensional examples). Modern differential geometry focuses on "geometric structures" on such manifolds, such as bundles and connections; for questions not concerning such structures, use (differential-topology) instead. Use (symplectic-geometry), (riemannian ...
In the field of Differential Geometry we are concerned with Riemannian manifolds or more generally (inner) metric spaces. We are interested in the interplay between their curvature and global ...
This course introduces to some of the central themes of modern Differential Geometry. We start with the important model case of surfaces and their particularly nice curvature geometry. After a short ...
Algebraic and differential geometry stand as two intertwined pillars of modern mathematics. Whereas algebraic geometry investigates the solution sets of polynomial equations using the refined language ...
A differential form is (technically) a function that we can calculate value at a point and AFAIK it has nothing to do with infinitesimals nor tends to anything. A course in precalculus, calculus, or even real analysis almost never gives an answer to "What is dx?". It is only until differential geometry, one gets to learn what it is. One should not learn these from Wikipedia but from a ...

Anyone who sees calculus in application is likely to encounter both derivatives and differentials. The two concepts have confusingly similar notation. For that reason, this post is a very important contribution.
