2Curvature — In mathematics, curvature refers to any of a number of loosely related concepts in different areas of geometry. Intuitively, curvature is the amount by which a geometric object deviates from being flat, or straight in the case of a line, but this …
3Curvature of a measure — In mathematics, the curvature of a measure defined on the Euclidean plane R2 is a quantification of how much the measure s distribution of mass is curved . It is related to notions of curvature in geometry. In the form presented below, the… …

9Menger curvature — In mathematics, the Menger curvature of a triple of points in n dimensional Euclidean space Rn is the reciprocal of the radius of the circle that passes through the three points. It is named after the Austrian American mathematician Karl Menger.… …
10Ricci curvature — In differential geometry, the Ricci curvature tensor, named after Gregorio Ricci Curbastro, provides one way of measuring the degree to which the geometry determined by a given Riemannian metric might differ from that of ordinary Euclidean n… …
