Differential Geometry and Curved Surfaces
In pure mathematics, Gauss's contributions to differential geometry were foundational, particularly concerning the theory of curved surfaces. His seminal work, Disquisitiones Generales circa Superficies Curvas (1828), introduced the crucial concept of the Theorema Egregium (Remarkable Theorem).
The theorem states that the Gaussian curvature $K$ of a [surface]…
