Torsion 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… … Wikipedia
Geodesic — [ great circle arcs.] In mathematics, a geodesic IPA|/ˌdʒiəˈdɛsɪk, ˈdisɪk/ [jee uh des ik, dee sik] is a generalization of the notion of a straight line to curved spaces . In presence of a metric, geodesics are defined to be (locally) the… … Wikipedia
Geodesic deviation equation — In differential geometry, the geodesic deviation equation is an equation involving the Riemann curvature tensor, which measures the change in separation of neighbouring geodesics. In the language of mechanics it measures the rate of relative… … Wikipedia
Curvature — 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 … Wikipedia
Darboux frame — In the differential geometry of surfaces, a Darboux frame is a natural moving frame constructed on a surface. It is the analog of the Frenet–Serret frame as applied to surface geometry. A Darboux frame exists at any non umbilic point of a surface … Wikipedia
Pseudosphere — In geometry, a pseudosphere of radius R is a surface of curvature −1/ R 2 (precisely, a complete, simply connected surface of that curvature), by analogy with the sphere of radius R , which is a surface of curvature 1/ R 2. The term was… … Wikipedia
Elasticity of cell membranes — A cell membrane defines a boundary between the living cell and its environment. It consists of lipids, proteins,carbohydrates etc. Lipids and proteins are dominant components of membranes. One of the principal types of lipids in membranes is… … Wikipedia
Asymptotic curve — In the differential geometry of surfaces, an asymptotic curve is a curve always tangent to an asymptotic direction of the surface (where they exist). It is sometimes called an asymptotic line, although it need not be a line. An asymptotic… … Wikipedia
Affine connection — An affine connection on the sphere rolls the affine tangent plane from one point to another. As it does so, the point of contact traces out a curve in the plane: the development. In the branch of mathematics called differential geometry, an… … Wikipedia
Differential 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:… … Wikipedia
