Voir la notice de l'article

We discuss fun problems, vaguely related to notions and theorems of a course in differential geometry. This paper can be regarded as a weekend “treasure chest” supplementing the course weekday lecture notes. The problems and solutions are not original, while their relation to the course might be so.
Keywords: clocks, spot it!, hunters, parking, frames, algebra, geometry.
Mots-clés : tangents
