Differential geometry is also indispensable in the study of gravitational lensing and black holes. Differential forms are used in the study of electromagnetism. Differential geometry has applications to both Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. Symplectic manifolds in particular can be used to study Hamiltonian systems.

The osculating circle provides a way to understand the local behavior of a curve and is commonly used in differential geometry and calculus. More formally, in differential geometry of curves , the osculating circle of a sufficiently smooth plane curve at a given point p on the curve has been traditionally defined as the circle passing through p ...
For example, for differential geometry, the top-level code is 53, and the second-level codes are: A for classical differential geometry; B for local differential geometry; C for global differential geometry; D for symplectic geometry and contact geometry; In addition, the special second-level code "-" is used for specific kinds of materials.

For a new edition, Scheffers added an appendix with 46 pages of historical notes for the first and second volumes. [7] Another very successful book was prepared for students of science and technology: Lehrbuch der Mathematik (textbook of mathematics). [8] It provided an introduction to analytic geometry as well as calculus of derivatives and ...
In the mathematical field of differential geometry, the fundamental theorem of surface theory deals with the problem of prescribing the geometric data of a submanifold of Euclidean space. Originally proved by Pierre Ossian Bonnet in 1867, it has since been extended to higher dimensions and non-Euclidean contexts.
In vector calculus and differential geometry the generalized Stokes theorem (sometimes with apostrophe as Stokes' theorem or Stokes's theorem), also called the Stokes–Cartan theorem, [1] is a statement about the integration of differential forms on manifolds, which both simplifies and generalizes several theorems from vector calculus.
