  We give a brief review of a research made in the field of differential
geometry in Estonia in the period from the beginning of the 19th century to the
present time. The biographic data of mathematicians who made a valuable
contribution to the development of differential geometry in Estonia in
mentioned period are presented. The material presented in the introduction
covers the period from the beginning of the 19th century to the middle of the
20th century and it can be considered as a brief historical sketch of the
development of differential geometry in Estonia in this period. The next
sections give an idea of the modern trends of development of differential
geometry in Estonia.
