differential geometry
Differential geometry is a branch of mathematics that studies the properties and structures of curved objects using the tools of calculus and linear algebra. It focuses on the study of smooth manifolds, which are spaces that can be locally described using smooth coordinate systems, and investigates geometric properties such as curvature, distance, and shape in these spaces.
