9781333622664: Certain Partial Differential Equations Connected With the Theory of Surfaces (Classic Reprint)

Synopsis

Explore the mathematics behind surfaces and curves through a rigorous treatment of partial differential equations. This scholarly work investigates how certain linear PDEs connect to the geometry of surfaces, using invariants, isothermal systems, and Laplace’s methods to unlock new relationships between curvature, geodesics, and the coordinates of a surface.

This edition presents a structured analysis: starting from a linear PDE and moving through invariants, substitutions, and reductions to reveal how curvature, lines of curvature, and principal radii interact with differential equations. It combines classical techniques with precise derivations, offering a deep look at how the theory of surfaces informs and is informed by partial differential equations.


  • Derivations of invariants and their role in simplifying complex PDEs tied to surface geometry

  • Connections between curvature, geodesic curvature, and lines of curvature through Laplace’s methods

  • Isothermal systems and conditions under which curvature lines form special coordinate nets

  • Step-by-step transformations and substitutions that illuminate the interplay between analysis and geometry



Ideal for readers with a background in differential geometry and PDEs who seek a thorough, methodical exploration of how these topics converge in the study of surfaces.
