Extract

The purpose of the present note is to show how the student who is acquainted with the methods only of Using and transforming rectangular axes is already in a position to determine the geodesic curvature and torsion of any curve traced on a surface, and in particular to prove Gauss’ formula for the product of the principal curvatures in terms of the geodesic curvaturesof the lines of curvature.
