Selected Papers II [Paperback]

In recognition of professor Shiing-Shen Cherns long and distinguished service to mathematics and to the University of California, the geometers at Berkeley held an International Symposium in Global Analysis and Global Geometry in his honor in June 1979. The output of this Symposium was published in a series of three separate volumes, comprising approximately a third of Professor Cherns total publications up to 1979. Later, a fourth volume was published, focusing on papers written during the Eighties. This second volume comprises selected papers written between 1932 and 1965.[1] Pairs of Plane Curves with Points in One-to-One Correspondence.- [3] Associate Quadratic Complexes of a Rectilinear Congruence.- [6] Sur la G?om?trie dune ?quation Diff?rentielle du Troisi?me Ordre.- [8] On Projective Normal Coordinates.- [9] On Two Affine Connections.- [10] Sur la G?om?trie dun Syst?me d?quations Diff?rentielles du Second Ordre.- [12] Sur les Invariants Int?graux en G?om?trie.- [14] Sur une G?n?ralisation dune Formule de Crofton.- [15] Sulla Formula Principale Cinematica dello Spazio ad n dimensioni (with Chih-ta Yen).- [17] Sur les Invariants de Contact en G?om?trie Projective Diff?rentielle.- [20] The Geometry of Isotropic Surfaces.- [21] On a Weyl Geometry Defined from an (n - 1) Parameter Family of Hypersurfaces in a Space of n Dimensions.- [22] On the Euclidean Connections in a Finsler Space.- [24] Laplace Transforms of a Class of Higher Dimensional Varieties in a Projective Space of n Dimensions.- [26] Integral Formulas for the Characteristic Classes of Sphere Bundles.- [29] Some New Characterizations of the Euclidean Sphere.- [32] Some New Viewpoints in Differential Geometry in the Large.- [34] Differential Geometry in Symplectic Space I (with Hsien-chung Wang).- [40] Note on Projective Differential Line Geometry.- [42] Local Equivalence and Euclidean Connections in Finsler Spaces.- [43] The Imbedding Theorem for Fibre Bundles (with Yi-Fone Sun).- [45] The Homolli
