Curvature: principal, Gauss, and mean

This post will compute the center of curvature for an object described in the previous post. In order to do that we first need to describe principle curvature and Gauss curvature, and we’ll throw in mean curvature while we’re at it. Let S be a surface sitting in three dimensional space. No need for more […] The post Curvature: principal, Gauss, and mean first appeared on John D. Cook....
