The hyperbolic plane and its immersions into R3

The Hyperbolic Plane and its Immersions into R3

We study how to describe and compute geometric features of curved surfaces in Euclidean three space. We describe the Gauß and mean curvature of a surface. We shall discuss applications to cartography, soap films and bubbles. We shall touch opun mechanical and variational principles. We shall also mention non-Euclidean geometries. We shall use the MAPLE computer algebra system to illustrate text and lectures.

Topics include (depending on time):
