I have nine differential geometry textbooks, and this one is my favorite. Compared to the other classics (such as those by do Carmo and Kreyszig), this book is far more comprehensive, practical. and as the title of the book suggests, modern. It is more computational oriented than almost all other differential geometry books. It covers some interesting subjects (such as canal surfaces) that other classics are lacking.

I have purchased the third edition of Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica.
I have seen the second edition before and I think that second edition is better than the third edition.
If you plan to buy this book and I could give you an advice: I would say buy the second edition.
The second edition has some chapters, Mathematica algorithms and appendices, which are not in the third.

Eu comprei a terceira edição do livro "Modern Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces with Mathematica".
Eu vi a segunda edição antes e penso que a segunda está melhor que a terceira.
Se você planeja comprar este livro eu poderia dar-lhe um conselho: diria para comprar a segunda edição.
A segunda edição tem alguns capítulos, algoritmos do Mathematica e appendices que não estão na terceira edição.
