A Treatise on the Differential Geometry of Curves and SurfacesLuther Pfahler Eisenhart, 1909Develops the geometry of a surface entirely from its first and second fundamental forms, treating Gauss's Theorema Egregium as the fact that curvature is intrinsic and geodesics as the resulting generalisation of a straight line.
