A Maple Exploration of Surface Curvature(s)

A study of the curvature of a surface in three dimensions requires looking at the normal curvature, principal curvatures, mean curvature, Gauss curvature, first and second fundamental forms, shape operators and the Weingarten map. That's a lot to examine by hand, especially if you want to implement these ideas for an example surface. In this webinar, Dr. Robert Lopez will share his Maple journey through these topics as he applied them to the surface at just a single point.
