The prerequisites for calculus are good background base in geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and analytic geometry. | I'm a master in all of these. What is analytic geometry? (Maybe I have done it but know about it by another name). | | | | Raider of the lost time

| | Oh....I have done analytic geometry, a lot of it in school.
Now, what is it's relationship to differential geometry? | | | | Raider of the lost time

| The hexahedron or the cube occupies a significant place among the five regular solids: octahedron (green), tetrahedron (red and blue), cube (black), dodecahedron, icosahedron. It is located in the middle. It can inscribe both the tetrahedron and the octahedron while being circumscribed by the dodecahedron and the icosahedron. dodecahedron and icosahedron not shown below.
Furthermore, the green octahedron can circumscribe a smaller cube, ad infinitum.

| | I just wondered: coudl differential geometry, as it studies objects in movement, study the "inner" or "Internal" movement of na object? | | | | Raider of the lost time

The intrinsic curvature in contradistinction to the extrinsic curvature. To study an extrinsic curvature, one must be situated outside the dimension of the object. To study intrinsic curvature, all one needed is to determine the metrical properties.

I now think I have definatelly been born in a time that doesn't belong to me. Not only I hate the music that is all around these yeas, and the horrible billion $ films that your horrible directors make, and the necesity of people to take the car and have mobile phones, but, I realise that I have had thousands of thoughts that would have lead me for discoverments just decades or centuries ago, when musicians like Debussy or Brahms existed, Antonioni and Passolini were starting the italian neorealist film movement, and the only vihecles that existed where carriages and the unique form to comunicate was by letter. | | | | Raider of the lost time
