Affine differential geometry

Affine differential geometry is a type of differential geometry which studies invariants of volume-preserving affine transformations. The name affine differential geometry follows from Klein's Erlangen program. The basic difference between affine and Riemannian differential geometry is that affine differential geometry studies manifolds equipped with a volume form rather than a metric. (Wikipedia).

algebraic geometry 17 Affine and projective varieties

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course, based on chapter I of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. It covers the relation between affine and projective varieties, with some examples such as a cubic curve and the twisted cubic.

Calculus and affine geometry of the magical parabola | Algebraic Calc and dCB curves 3 | Wild Egg

Algebraic Calculus naturally lives in affine geometry, not Euclidean geometry. Affine geometry is the geometry of parallelism, or (almost the same thing) --- the geometry of pure linear algebra. The parabola is characterized projectively in this geometry as the unique conic which is tangen

Tangent conics and tangent quadrics | Differential Geometry 5 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we further develop and extend Lagrange's algebraic approach to the differential calculus. We show how to associate to a polynomial function y=p(x) at a point x=r not just a tangent line, but also a tangent conic, a tangent cubic and so on. Only elementary high school manipul

The differential calculus for curves (II) | Differential Geometry 8 | NJ Wildberger

In this video we extend Lagrange's approach to the differential calculus to the case of algebraic curves. This means we can study tangent lines, tangent conics and so on to a general curve of the form p(x,y)=0; this includes the situation y=f(x) as a special case. It also allows us to deal

Novel Algebraic Operations for Affine Geometry | Algebraic Calculus One | Wild Egg

We introduce some novel conventions to help us set up the foundations of affine geometry. We learn about differences of points, sums of points and vectors, affine combinations and vector proportions. And then use these to state a number of important results from affine geometry, including

Schemes 47: Cotangent bundle

This lecture is part of an online algebraic geometry course on schemes, based on chapter II of "Algebraic geometry" by Hartshorne. We define the cotangent sheaf of a scheme, and calculate it for the projective line and then for general projective space.
