- use different descriptions of surfaces as well as of manifolds of higher dimension and of their submanifolds;
- analyze differential geometric properties of surfaces and manifolds;
- re-derive proofs of classical theorems of differential geometry;
- apply tensor calculus to investigate the properties of manifolds
