Publisher: North Holland Publishing Co. 1955
Number of pages: 321
Description:
This is an advanced treatment of topics in differential geometry. The topics include: Spaces with a non-vanishing curvature tensor that admit a group of automorphisms of the maximum order; Groups of transformations in generalized spaces; The study of global properties of the groups of motions in a compact orientable Riemannian space; Lie derivatives in an almost complex space.

Transformations of Surfacesby Luther Pfahler Eisenhart - Princeton University Press
Most of the transformations are reducible to transformations F or to transformations of the type such that a surface and a transform are focal surfaces of a W congruence. It is the purpose of this book to develop these two types of transformations.
