They are an embodiment of pure mechanics and modernclassic design.
The theorem is that gaussian curvature can be determined entirely by measuring angles, distances and their rates on a surface, without reference to the particular manner in which the surface is embedded in. To use the notebooks one needs five mathematica packages, also contained in the zipfile. S 1 s2 is a local isometry, then the gauss curvature of s1 at p equals the gauss curvature of s2 at fp.

Windsteiger this is on the one hand powerful and gives many possibilities for system insiders, who know all the tricks and all the options including the e ect they will have in a particular example. Chapter 4 on the theorema egregium deals with the main contributions by gauss, as developped in his disquisitiones generalis circa super. Curvature and the theorema egregium of gauss deane yang in this note, we describe a simple way to define the second fundamental form of a hypersurface in rn and use it to prove gausss theorema egregium, as well as its analogue in higher dimensions. By this we mean that the converse of the theorem is not true.

Intuitively, we think of a curve as a path traced by a moving particle in space. They also should be able to distinguish wellknown surfaces of positive, negative and zero gaussian curvature. Indeed, following gauss seminal theorema egregium, mapping a plane into a sphere is a nonisometric transformation, and therefore generates tensile or compressive stresses along the surface.
