John Milnor, best known for his work in differential topology, K-theory, and dynamical systems, is one of only three mathematicians to have won the Fields medal, the Abel prize, and the Wolf prize, and is the only one to have received all three of the Leroy P.
Geometría diferencial de curvas y superficies es un texto dirigido a estudiantes de educación superior, que estén empezando su ciclo de profesionalización en programas académicos de ciencias e ingenierías, y que tengan conocimientos previos de cálculo en varias variables y álgebra lineal; y se enfoca más en aspectos geométricos que en aspectos de análisis o de topología, con el objetivo de desarrollar en el estudiante su intuición geométrica.
