The quality of book delivered was perfect.

This is an excellent book with advanced concepts of Differential Geometry explained and demonstrated with examples of Mathematica code and Notebooks throughout. Since the book dates from 2006 the code and Notebooks were updated only to Mathematica version 5.2 (i.e. now 10 versions old). Wolfram AI can help in locating and translating the Notebooks (they are only now available through the WayBack Machine). There are newer built-in functions (and downloadable ResourceFunction code) in Mathematica version 15 which fill some gaps in Mathematica 5.2, however the extra understanding gained by deriving from scratch (often Symbolically) is of huge benefit. The book is laid out with coursework, particularly appropriate for students, but is also a very useful reference for those with dulled memories and sudden tricky problems. Thus as expected this is a mixture of an advanced textbook with a comprehensive hands-on library of worked examples.

This is a classic and excellent first book to study differential geometry. The power of Mathematica and visualization of the geometry is obvious with the first few pages. Unfortunately a lot of the code for Mathematica has changed since this version of the book was written. An updated version of the text with downloadable code is badly needed. Fortunately the Mathematica home version is available for self learners at home. I fortunately have have it through my teaching position. This is a excellent book for a initial study of differential geometry. It is also a beautiful way to appreciate the beauty of Mathematica. Hopefully the book can be updated.

I have purchased the third edition of Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica.

I have seen the second edition before and I think that second edition is better than the third edition.

If you plan to buy this book and I could give you an advice: I would say buy the second edition.

The second edition has some chapters, Mathematica algorithms and appendices, which are not in the third.

Eu comprei a terceira edição do livro "Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica".

Eu vi a segunda edição antes e penso que a segunda está melhor que a terceira.

Se você planeja comprar este livro eu poderia dar-lhe um conselho: diria para comprar a segunda edição.

A segunda edição tem alguns capítulos, algoritmos do Mathematica e appendices que não estão na terceira edição.

This book was published in 2006 (3rd edition) and written for a previous version of Mathematica, now long obsolete. According to the book's editor, the Mathematica code is "entirely nonfunctional," and the electronic notebook files are no longer available, despite the representation in the Preface that they are available from the publisher's website.

Since the potential value of the book is largely in its Mathematica code, this is disappointing. The publisher further confirms there are no plans for a fourth edition.

I take one star off because the "Look inside" facility is deceptive. It shows coloured pictures while the actual book features black /white only. Not a big deal but...As for the shipping etc, all was fine.

Beau et "gros" livre de géométrie différentielle, très complet, appliqué à Mathematica (avec des Notebooks Mathematica à télécharger séparément sur le net...). Le niveau d’anglais requis ne pose aucun problème particulier et la partie mathématique est relativement bien expliquée tout au long du livre. Je recommande donc ce bouquin sans hésiter !

À noter que le livre (la 3e édition que j’ai reçu en tout cas !) est relié, et que les figures à l’intérieur sont en couleur, ce qui peut sans doute justifier son prix, un peu élevé tout de même !

The contents of this tome is encompassing. Everything you need to read the current publications can be found in this tome.

One quibble: the MATHEMATICA notebooks are not conveniently available. I, at least, have to copy the code by hand (fingertip). Since the code is not very long (thanks to MATHEMATICA's powerful routines), this is not a severe burden.

The treatment of non-Euclidean geometry is wonderfully presented and optimal for students of General Relativity.

Lamentablemente, los autores sobrevivientes (el Dr. Gray ya no está con nosotros) han abandonado el libro. Me explico: en las primeras ediciones se ofrecía un material adicional que contiene las soluciones de muchos problemas, en forma de Notebooks de Mathematica™. Este material es muy importante, al extremo que después de cada capítulo del libro se muestra una referencia al Notebook correspondiente; ese Notebook contiene información deliberadamente oculta en el libro. Pues bien, los Notebooks ya no están disponibles en la página web de la editorial. Puesto en contacto con la Editorial, me han notificado que los autores ya no actualizan la página en que se ofrecía originalmente el material. Esto es, el enlace que figura en el libro no funciona, y ni siquiera se ofrecen los Notebooks originales (que podrían servir como base para versiones actualizadas). Esto es un problema grave.

学会での論文発表の基礎資料として活用しました。とても理解しやすかったです。

Excellent reference text book
