Gaussian curvature

Gaussian curvature logo #21000 In differential geometry, the Gaussian curvature or Gauss curvature of a point on a surface is the product of the principal curvatures, κ1 and κ2, of the given point. It is an intrinsic measure of curvature, i.e., its value depends only on distances that are measured on the surface, not on the way it is isometrically embedded in space. This resu...
