CURVATURE
14
Definition
Pronunciation: //ˈkɝ.və.t͡ʃɚ//
noun
- (mathematics) The extent to which a subspace is curved within a metric space."A turtle drawing an ellipse would have to turn more per distance traveled to get around its “pointy” sides than to get around its flatter top and bottom. This notion of how “pointy something is,” expressed as the ratio of angle turned to distance traveled, is the intrinsic quantity that mathematicians call curvature."
- (differential geometry) The extent to which a Riemannian manifold is intrinsically curved.
