  abstract =     "Tzitzeica curves and surfaces represent early examples
                 of affine-invariant geometrical objects. At the time
                 Gheorghe Tzitzeica was studying these objects, affine
                 differential geometry (ADG) was in its infancy. ADG was
                 motivated by Felix Klein's influential Erlangen
                 program, where a geometry was defined by its set of
                 invariants under a group of symmetries. We find that
                 the issue lends itself well to a relatively elementary
                 discussion suitable for upper-division undergraduates
                 and nonspecialists, while still providing the basic
                 thrust of this elegant subject. Moreover, the topic is
                 an excellent one to illustrate the utility of
                 Mathematica's symbolic manipulation and graphics
                 capabilities. For this reason, the article nicely
                 complements the existing literature on the uses of
                 software in differential geometry (such as [1]), and it
                 provides material that would be useful for inclusion in
                 a differential geometry course either as an application
                 or a project.",
