DIFFERENTIAL GEOMETRY OF CURVES AND SURFACES
1. Curves in the Plane
1.1. Points, Vec tors, and Their Coordinates. Points and vectors are fundamental
objects in Geometry. The notion of point is intuitive and clear to everyone. The notion
of vector is a bit more delicate. In fa ct, rather than saying what a vector is, we prefer
to say what a vector has , namely: direction, sense, and length (or magnitude). It can be
represented by an arrow, and the main idea is that two arrows represent the same vector if
they have the same direction, sense, and length. An arrow representing a vector has a tail
and a tip. From the (ro ugh) definition a bove, we deduce that in order to represent (if yo u
want, to draw) a given vector as an arrow, it is necessary and sufficient to prescribe its tail.

Figure 1. We see four copies of the vector a, three of
the vector b, and two of the vector c. We a lso see a point
P .
An important instrument in handling points, vectors, and (consequently) many other
geometric objects is the Cartesian coordinate system in the plane. This consists of a point
O, called the origin, and two perpendicular lines going through O, called coordinate axes.
Each line has a positive direction, indicated by an arrow (see Figure 2). We denote by R the

set of all real numbers and by R

the set of all pairs of numbers, of the form (x, y) , where
x, y are in R. Points are identified with elements R
2
, as follows: to each point P corresponds
the pair (x, y) consisting of the coordinates of the projections of P on the two axes. We say
that P has coordinates (x, y). Also vectors a re identified with elements of R
2
, as follows: if

a is a vector, we move its tail to the origin O, and we take the coordinates of its tip. We say
that a has coordinates (x, y). One of the first advantag es of the coordinate system is that
we can use it to compute lengths, as follows. The distance between the points P

and P

The length of the vector a = (x, y) is
kak =

.
In our course, R
2
will denote both the set of all points and the set of all vectors (in the
plane). It will always be possible to understand from the context if a certain object in R
2
is
a point or a vector.
1.2. Parametrized Curves. A good way of thinking of a curve is as the object which
describes the motion of a particle in the plane: at the time t, the particle is at the point in
the plane whose coordinates are (x(t), y(t)). We stress from the very beginning that what
we are interested in is not simply w h at the trajectory of the particle is, but ra t her how the
trajectory is r un. Now comes the exact definition.
Definition 1.2.1. A parametrized curve in the plane
is a differentiable f unction
1
α(t) = (x(t), y(t)),
where t satisfies a < t < b (possibly a and/or b can be ∞).
When we say that α(t) = (x(t), y(t)) is “differentiable” we mean that both x(t) and y(t)
have derivative of any order (we also say that they are C
∞
differentiable).
The standard notation for such an object is
α : (a, b) → R
2
,
where (a, b) is the open interval between a and b. As we already mentioned, it is importa nt
to distinguish between the curve α (the assignment which associates to any “time” t the
point (x(t), y(t)) on t he “t rajectory”) and the image of the function α (the “trajectory”).
The latter is called the trace
of the curve α.
Remark. Very of t en it is possible to describe the tra ce of a curve α : (a, b) → R
2
with
α(t) = (x(t), y(t)), by an equation of the form f(x, y) = 0, where f is a function of variables
x, y. If so, we say that
x = x(t), y = y(t)
are the parametric equations
(or explicit equations) of the curve and
f(x, y) = 0
is the implicit equation
of the curve. For example, the trace of the curve
x = 1 − 2t, y = 5t
is a straight line (see below). The same line can be describ ed by the implicit equation
5x + 2y = 5.
Also, the circle of radius 1 and centre 0 can be described as the trace of
x = cos t, y = sin t
1
It is worth mentioning that the domain of the function α is the interval a < t < b a nd the range is R
2
.

but also by the equation

= 1.
Examples. 1. The straight line determined by two points P and Q is the trace of the curve
α(t) = tP + (1 −t)Q,
where t ∈ R (see Figure 3). Note that there are several other curves whose tr aces are the
same straight line, like for instance
β(t) = tQ + (1 −t)P
or
γ(t) = 2tP + (1 − 2t)Q.

.
We have the following geometric (coordinate free) characterization of the ellipse. There
exists two points, let’s denote them F
−
and F
+
, which are called the foci
of the ellipse, with
the property that for any point P on the ellipse we have
kP F
−
k + kP F

k = constant.
More specifically, F

has coordinates (−

has coordinates (

(you are encouraged to calculate the distances k P F

k, add them up, and check that
the result is constant, that is, independent of t).
4. The parabola is the trace of the curve
α(t) = (t, at
2
),
where a is a number. It can be described implicitly a s
y = ax

.
Again we have a geometric (coordinate free) characterization. Namely, there exists a point
