This introductory text explores the geometry of n-dimensional oriented surfaces in Rn+1, using vector field calculus as the main tool. It emphasizes global concepts early on, introducing differential forms and coordinate patches as needed. Designed for junior/senior level students, it builds on prior knowledge from linear algebra and multivariate calculus.
