[Maxima-discuss] Book - Classical Differential Geometry with Maxima

[Dr. W. L. <dr....@gm...>]

Dear Maxima community,

Let me inform you that I have written a (free) booklet :

Title : Classical Differential Geometry of Surfaces with Maxima.
Year  : 4/2023
Pages : 120
Author : Wolfgang Lindner, Leichlingen, Germany
Link : https://georgeweigt.github.io/Lindner/DiffGeo-of-Surfaces-Maxima.pdf

Abstract: "This is an introduction to the Elementary Differential Geometry of 2D surfaces using the CAS Maxima. Code for the calculation of the 1st and 2nd fundamental form, for the shape operator, the GAUSS and mean curvature are presented in form of user-defined functions. The CHRISTOFFEL symbols, the RIEMANN tensors, the RICCI tensor and the curvature scalar R are also discussed via the Maxima package ctensor. An implementation of the covariant differentiation of vector fields are also given."

It would be a pleasure for me, if my text would be accepted to be posted on the Maxima homepage under 'Publications' or 'Documents'.

it would be nice to hear from you.

Best regards,
Wolfgang
