Transformations of Surfaces
by Luther Pfahler Eisenhart
Publisher: Princeton University Press 1923
Number of pages: 371
Description:
Most, if not all, of the transformations which have been developed in recent years 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 and thereby to coordinate the results of many investigations.

Exterior Differential Systemsby Robert L. Bryant, et al. - MSRI
An exterior differential system is a system of equations on a manifold defined by equating to zero a number of exterior differential forms. This book gives a treatment of exterior differential systems. It includes both the theory and applications.

Functional Differential Geometryby Gerald Jay Sussman, Jack Wisdom - MIT
Differential geometry is deceptively simple. It is surprisingly easy to get the right answer with informal symbol manipulation. We use computer programs to communicate a precise understanding of the computations in differential geometry.
