Abstract:
Sub-Riemannian geometry is the geometry of spaces with non-holonomic constraints. This paper presents an informal survey of some topics in this area, starting with the construction of geodesic curves and ending with a recent definition of curvature.
Bibliography: 28 titles.
Keywords:
geodesic, curvature, sub-Riemannian geometry.
