geodesic mapping
1Geodesic map — In mathematics mdash; specifically, in differential geometry mdash; a geodesic map (or geodesic mapping or geodesic diffeomorphism) is a function that preserves geodesics . More precisely, given two (pesudo )Riemannian manifolds ( M , g ) and ( N …

3Nonlinear dimensionality reduction — High dimensional data, meaning data that requires more than two or three dimensions to represent, can be difficult to interpret. One approach to simplification is to assume that the data of interest lies on an embedded non linear manifold within… …
4Caroline Leaf (learning specialist) — Dr. Caroline Leaf is a brain and learning specialist from South Africa. She has worked extensively with children and adults alike for 20 years, dealing mainly with learning techniques to aid the education system in South Africa. Through her… …
5Geodesy — (pronEng|dʒiːˈɒdɪsi [OED] ), also called geodetics, a branch of earth sciences, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth, including its gravitational field, in a three dimensional time varying… …
6Metric tensor — In the mathematical field of differential geometry, a metric tensor is a type of function defined on a manifold (such as a surface in space) which takes as input a pair of tangent vectors v and w and produces a real number (scalar) g(v,w) in a… …
7Torsion tensor — In differential geometry, the notion of torsion is a manner of characterizing a twist or screw of a moving frame around a curve. The torsion of a curve, as it appears in the Frenet Serret formulas, for instance, quantifies the twist of a curve… …
8Differential geometry of surfaces — Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1828 In mathematics, the differential geometry of surfaces deals with smooth surfaces with various additional structures, most often, a Riemannian metric. Surfaces have been extensively studied from various perspectives:… …
9Isomap — In statistics, isomap is one of several widely used low dimensional embedding methods, where geodesic distances on a weighted graph are incorporated with the classical scaling (metric multidimensional scaling). It is used for computing a quasi… …
10Orbifold — This terminology should not be blamed on me. It was obtained by a democratic process in my course of 1976 77. An orbifold is something with many folds; unfortunately, the word “manifold” already has a different definition. I tried “foldamani”,… …
