21Total curvature — In mathematical study of the differential geometry of curves, the total curvature of a plane curve is the integral of curvature along a curve taken with respect to arclength::int a^b k(s),ds.The total curvature of a closed curve is always an… …
22Geodesic curvature — In differential geometry, the geodesic curvature vector is a property of curves in a metric space which reflects the deviance of the curve from following the shortest arc length distance along each infinitesimal segment of its length.The vector… …
23Inverse mean curvature flow — In the field of differential geometry in mathematics, inverse mean curvature flow (IMCF) is an example of a geometric flow of hypersurfaces a Riemannian manifold (for example, smooth surfaces in 3 dimensional Euclidean space). Intuitively, a… …
24Lesser curvature of the stomach — Infobox Anatomy Name = PAGENAME Latin = curvatura minor gastris GraySubject = 247 GrayPage = 1162 Caption = Outline of stomach, showing its anatomical landmarks. Caption2 = Diagram from [http://training.seer.cancer.gov/ss module07 ugi/unit02… …
25Radius of curvature (mathematics) — In geometry, the radius of curvature, R , of a curve at a point is a measure of the radius of the circular arc which best approximates the curve at that point. If this value taken to be positive when the curve turns anticlockwise and negative… …
26Mandibular first molar — Mandibular first molars of permanent and primary teeth marked in red. The mandibular first molar or six year molar is the tooth located distally (away from the midline of the face) from both the mandibular second premolars of the mouth but mesial …
27Maxillary first molar — Maxillary first molars of permanent and primary teeth marked in red. The maxillary first molar is the tooth located laterally (away from the midline of the face) from both the maxillary second premolars of the mouth but mesial (toward the midline …
28Differential 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:… …
29nature, philosophy of — Introduction the discipline that investigates substantive issues regarding the actual features of nature as a reality. The discussion here is divided into two parts: the philosophy of physics and the philosophy of biology. In this… …
30Holonomy — Parallel transport on a sphere depends on the path. Transporting from A → N → B → A yields a vector different from the initial vector. This failure to return to the initial vector is measured by the holonomy of the connection. In differential… …
