About this book
Reviews
“The area of differential geometry is the main focus of this collection, though it also contains do Carmo’s own commentaries on his life as a scientist as well as assessment of the impact of his research and a complete list of his publications. … His work, as presented in this collection of 32 papers, speaks for itself, as regards both its breadth and its depth, and this volume is an appropriate tribute to him. It is of the highest quality.” (Luiz A. M. Sousa, Jr, Mathematical Reviews, October, 2015)
“The volume, with dedication from Professor do Carmo to his students, begins with an overview of do Carmo’s scientific career. … to guide the readers, a complete list of publications until 2010 is included at the end of this volume. This list extends to more than 80 research articles and several books that set milestones in differential geometry. The increase of research on differential geometry in Brazil is thus rigorously documented and the result presented as fundamental reading for this field.” (Corina Mohorianu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1240, 2012)Authors, Editors and Affiliations
