Abstract: This course will cover fundamental concepts and theorems in algebraic topology, surface differential geometry, Riemann surface theory and geometric partial differential equations; it also covers the computational methods for surface fundamental group, homology group, harmonic maps, meromorphic differentials, foliation, conformal mapping, quasi-conformal mapping and Ricci flow. Their applications in Computer Graphics, Computer Vision, Visualization, Geometric Modeling, Networking, Medical Imaging and Deep Learning will be briefly introduced as well.
