Along the way he covers the geometry of curves, surfaces, curvatures, constant mean curvature surfaces, geodesics, metrics, isometries, holonomy and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem, the calculations of variations and geometry, and higher dimensions, just for fun.
Topics include the Gauss map and the second fundamental form, the divergence theorem, global extrinsic geometry, rigid motions and isometrics, and the Gauss-Bonnet theorem.
