1	Comparison Geometry more books like this by Karsten Grove (Editor), Peter Petersen (Editor) add to wishlist This book documents the focus on a branch of Riemannian geometry called Comparison Geometry. The simple idea of comparing the geometry of an arbitrary Riemannian manifold with the geometries of constant curvature spaces has seen a tremendous evolution of late. This volume is an up-to-date reflection of the recent development regarding spaces with ... see all copies from $19.11! new only from $42.11! \| SVS
2	Geometry of Surfaces more books like this by John Stillwell add to wishlist This text intends to provide the student with the knowledge of a geometry of greater scope than the classical geometry taught today, which is no longer an adequate basis for mathematics or physics, both of which are becoming increasingly geometric. The geometry of surfaces is an ideal starting point for students learning geometry for the following ... see all copies from $41.67! new only from $41.67! \| first editions \| SVS
3	Constant Mean Curvature Surfaces, Harmonic Maps, and Integrable Systems more books like this by Frederic Helein add to wishlist This book intends to give an introduction to harmonic maps between a surface and a symmetric manifold and constant mean curvature surfaces as completely integrable systems. The presentation is accessible to undergraduate and graduate students in mathematics but will also be useful to researchers. It is among the first textbooks about integrable ... see all copies from $25.00! new only from $25.00! \| first editions \| SVS
4	Integrable Problems of Celestial Mechanics in Spaces of Constant Curvature more books like this by Tatiana G Vozmischeva add to wishlist This book combines a most interesting area of study, celestial mechanics, with modern geometrical methods in physics. According to recently developed views and research, one of the basic qualitative characteristics of an integrable Hamiltonian system is a structure of the Liouville foliation. A number of interesting results have been obtained. In ... see all copies from $31.88! new only from $36.98!

7	Surfaces with Constant Mean Curvature more books like this by K Kenmotsu add to wishlist The mean curvature of a surface is an extrinsic parameter measuring how the surface is curved in the three-dimensional space. A surface whose mean curvature is zero at each point is a minimal surface, and it is known that such surfaces are models for soap film. There is a rich and well-known theory of minimal surfaces. A surface whose mean ... see all copies from $36.80! new only from $66.26!
8	The Geometry of Curvature Homogeneous Pseudo-Riemannian Manifolds more books like this by Peter B Gilkey add to wishlist Pseudo-Riemannian geometry is an active research field not only in differential geometry but also in mathematical physics where the higher signature geometries play a role in brane theory. An essential reference tool for research mathematicians and physicists, this book also serves as a useful introduction to students entering this active and ... see all copies from $104.00! new only from $112.21!
9	Curvature Cosmology: A Model for a Static, Stable Universe more books like this by David F Crawford add to wishlist Curvature Cosmology proposes a new cosmological model very different from, and more elegant than, the Big-Bang Theory. Curvature Cosmology is based on two major hypotheses that Hubble redshift is due to an interaction of photons with curved spacetime and that there is a pressure that acts to stabilise expansion and provides a static stable ... see all copies from $21.42! new only from $21.42! \| SVS
10	Geometry II: Spaces of Constant Curvature more books like this by E B Vinberg (Editor) add to wishlist This book contains a systematic and comprehensive exposition of Lobachevskian geometry and the theory of discrete groups of motions in Euclidean space and Lobachevsky space. The authors give a very clear account of their subject describing it from the viewpoints of elementary geometry, Riemannian goemetry and group theory. The result is a book ... see all copies from $126.00! new only from $126.00! \| SVS
11	Appearance and Essence: Refinements of Classical Architecture--Curvature more books like this by Lothar Haselberger (Editor) add to wishlist The proceedings of the second Williams Symposium explore the phenomenon of curvature, together with other such "secrets" of classical refinement. Debated ever since the Renaissance, these stunning architectural subtleties are treated here for the first time in a combined effort of international experts. Ranging from painstaking new technical ... see all copies from $57.25! new only from $57.25! \| SVS

13	The language of shape the role of curvature in condensed matter physics, chemistry and biology more books like this by Hyde add to wishlist This book develops the thesis that structure and function in a variety of condensed systems - from the atomic assemblies in inorganic frameworks and organic molecules, through molecular self-assemblies to proteins - can be unified when curvature and surface geometry are taken together with molecular shape and forces. An astonishing variety of ... see all copies from $290.82! new only from $290.82!

16	Lectures on Mean Curvature Flows more books like this by XI-Ping Zhu add to wishlist 'Mean curvature flow' is a term that is used to describe the evolution of a hyper surface whose normal velocity is given by the mean curvature. In the simplest case of a convex closed curve on the plane, the properties of the mean curvature flow are described by Gage-Hamilton's theorem. This theorem states that under the mean curvature flow, the ... see all copies from $59.27! new only from $59.27!
