Phrases 14
- Gauss mapA map from a given oriented surface in Euclidean space to the unit sphere which maps each point on the surface to a unit vector orthogonal to the surface at that point.
- Gauss-Bonnet theoremAn important statement about surfaces in differential geometry, connecting their geometry (in the sense of curvature) to their topology (in the sense of the Euler characteristic).
- Gauss-Lucas theoremA theorem that gives a geometric relation between the roots of a polynomial P and the roots of its derivative P′. It states that the roots of P′ all lie within the convex hull of the roots of P.
- Gauss-Seidel methodAn iterative method used to solve a linear system of equations.
