This is a nice textbook. We used it when I was an undergrad in Brazil and those were some of the most fun classes I've ever had. It gives you a ton of intuition and understanding for classical (extrinsic) differential geometry, and I feel that this experience was very helpful later in learning Riemannian geometry and General Relativity. It also helped a bit when I took an intro course to computer graphics. Solid stuff!

Looks like you found a new Umeshism [0]. "If you don't lose a few lives to lab accidents, you are not progressing fast enough".

If anyone is interested in knowing more, Veritasium has a good video on this, "The Oldest Unsolved Problem in Math":
