All teaching activities will be held in Croatian. However, foreign students in mixed groups will have the opportunity to attend additional office hours with the lecturer and teaching assistants in English to help master the course materials. Additionally, the lecturer will refer foreign students to the corresponding literature in English, as well as give them the possibility of taking the associated exams in English.

Description:
COURSE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:
The aim of the Course is to develope the geometry of (parametrized ) n-dimensional oriented surfaces in R(n+k). By viewing such surfaces as level sets of R^k -valued smooth functions , the global ideas can be introduced early without the need for preliminary development of sophisticated machinery. The calculus of vector fields is used as the primary tool in developing the theory. Coordinate patches are introduced only after preliminary discussions of geodesics, parallel transport, curvature, and convexity. Differential 1-forms are introduced only as needed for use in integration.
