Welcome to Discrete Differential Geometry! (Spring 2022)

Welcome to the website for 15-458/858 (Discrete Differential Geometry).  Here you’ll find course notes, lecture slides, and homework (see links on the right).

If you are a student in the class, register now by clicking here!

To participate in the class, you must register using your Andrew (CMU) email address.

You should also get connected to the course Piazza and Discord. See Piazza for info on how to get connected to Discord.

A few things to note:

  • You will be subscribed to receive email notification about new posts, comments, etc.
  • You can ask questions by leaving a comment on a post.  If you’re apprehensive about asking questions in public, feel free to register under a pseudonym. But please still use your Andrew email to register, so we can track class participation. (Also: Gmail and other free accounts will not work, due to the way our spam filter is setup.)
  • Please associate a picture of yourself—or some other fun picture if you wish to stay anonymous!&mdashto your profile by registering your email address at Gravatar.com—doing so will help us better recognize you in class!
  • You can include mathematical notation in your questions using standard $\LaTeX$ syntax.  For instance, when enclosed in a pair of dollar signs, an expression like dollar\int_M K dA = 2\pi\chidollar gets typeset as $\int_M K dA = 2\pi\chi$.
If you encounter any problems while trying to use the website, please contact the TA (listed under the course description).
