In mathematics, particularly differential geometry, a geodesic (k {respell|JEE|o|DEE|zik} or k {respell|JEE|o|DES|ik}) is a generalization of the notion of a `straight line` to `curved spaces`. In the presence of an affine connection, a geodesic is defined to be a curve whose tangent vectors remain parallel if they are transported along it. If...

A path on a given surface that is as straight as possible; in other words, a path that doesn't deviate either to the left or to the right, and only bends when forced to do so by the curvature (if any) of the surface. If the surface is an ordinary plane, the geodesics are straight lines; on a sphere ...
