Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica, Second Edition

"I wish that I would have used this book as my introduction to differential geometry instead of the here-unnamed horror-flick-of-a-book required by my early professors on the subjectIn the high-turnover of textbooks this much improved 2nd edition is truly deserving of the title and furthermore acts as an excellent tribute to its author." - The Mathematica Journal, Vol. 7 No. 2, 1998 "More than any other text I am aware of, Gray integrates computing into the materialGray's Mathematica programs offer new and fascinating ways to present material. With an appropriate selection of material the first edition and, even better, the present second edition, may provide an excellent background for a course on the subjectsecond edition provides considerable extensions of the subjectsauthor's acknowledgements show that comments from a lot of well-known geometers have lead to an improvement of the book." --Bernd Wegner, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 942
