How to compute the Gaussian curvature of a surface defined by a parametric equation?
I'm studying differential geometry and I need to compute the Gaussian curvature of a parametric surface .
Given the first fundamental form:
And the second fundamental form:
The Gaussian curvature is:
Can someone walk through this computation for a specific surface like a torus or a helicoid?
