- Title
Differential Geometry of Curves and Surfaces by Shoshichi Kobayashi, translated from the Japanese by Eriko Shinozaki Nagumo and Makiko Sumi Tanaka: SPRINGER, 2019, 192 PP., $34.99, ISBN 978-981-15-1739-6.

- Abstract
It took two decades to translate Chapters 1 through 3, since Kobayashi asked the translator to solve the problems and "review differential geometry topics when translating." The book has an excellent postscript conveying Kobayashi's perspective on the history of the theory of curves and surfaces, which, as he points out, is "as old as that of calculus.".
