A Geometric Approach to Differential Forms
by David Bachman
Publisher: arXiv 2003
ISBN/ASIN: 0817644997
Number of pages: 106
Description:
This is a draft of a textbook on differential forms. The primary target audience is sophomore level undergraduates enrolled in what would traditionally be a course in vector calculus. Later chapters will be of interest to advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. Applications include brief introductions to Maxwell's equations, foliations and contact structures, and DeRham cohomology.

Discrete Differential Geometry: An Applied Introduction
by M. Desbrun, P. Schroeder, M. Wardetzky - Columbia University
This new and elegant area of mathematics has exciting applications, as this text demonstrates by presenting practical examples in geometry processing (surface fairing, parameterization, and remeshing) and simulation (of cloth, shells, rods, fluids).

Tight and Taut Submanifolds
by Thomas E. Cecil, Shiing-shen Chern - Cambridge University Press
Tight and taut submanifolds form an important class of manifolds with special curvature properties, one that has been studied intensively by differential geometers since the 1950's. This book contains six articles by leading experts in the field.
