Lorentz Geometry is a very important intersection between Mathematics and Physics, being the mathematical language of General Relativity.
Learning this type of geometry is the first step in properly understanding questions regarding the structure of the universe, such as: What is the shape of the universe? What is a spacetime? What is the relation between gravity and curvature? Why exactly is time treated in a different manner than other spatial dimensions?
Introduction to Lorentz Geometry: Curves and Surfaces intends to provide the reader with the minimum mathematical background needed to pursue these very interesting questions, by presenting the classical theory of curves and surfaces in both Euclidean and Lorentzian ambient spaces simultaneously.
Features:
- Over 300 exercises
- Suitable for senior undergraduates and graduates studying Mathematics and Physics
- Written in an accessible style without loss of precision or mathematical rigor
- Solution manual available on www.routledge.com/9780367468644

About the Author
Ivo Terek Couto, born in São Paulo, graduated with a B.Sc. and a M.Sc. in Mathematics from the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo (IME–USP). He’s currently pursuing PhD at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. His study and research interests lie mainly in Differential Geometry and its applications in other areas of Mathematics and Physics, particularly in General Relativity and Classical Mechanics.
Alexandre Lymberopoulos, born in São Paulo, has a PhD in Mathematics from the Institute of Mathematics and Statistics of the University of São Paulo (IME–USP). He has taught in several higher education institutes in São Paulo and returned to IME–USP as an Assistant Professor in 2011. His main research interest is in Differential Geometry, particularly in immersions and its interactions with other branches of Science.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
