    This thesis is an introduction to some of the classical theory and results of Differential Geometry: The geometry of curves and surfaces lying (mostly) in 3-dimensional space. One of the most important tools used to analyze a curve is the Frenet frame, a moving frame that provides a coordinate system at each point of the curve that is adapted to the curve near that point. Given a curve, one can define two quantities: its curvature and torsion. Both quantities are scalar fields and depend on some parameter which parametrizes the curve that is in general the arc length of the curve. The Fundamental ...
