5) The First Fundamental Form Flashcards
General nomenclature for rest of module unless stated otherwise, surface means
Regular surface patch
How to calculate first fundamental form of a surface (patch)
The first fundamental form depends on? But not?
Depends on surface (and it’s parameterization) but not the curve γ
Calculate first fundamental form of plane
Calculate first fundamental form of sphere in latitude longitudinal coordinates
Calculate first fundamental form of generalised cylinder
Changing parameterization of surface changes? In first fundamental form
Coefficients E F G, but not ds^2
A surface parameterization is conformal if
E=G , F=0
Prove conformal parameterization
Requirements for a surface to have a conformal parameterization
ALL SURFACE HAVE
Define a diffeomorphism
A map between the images of 2 surfaces that is bijective and smoother
When are 2 images of surfaces isometric?
A tangent developable is
The union of tangent lines to a curve in R^3
Prove that any tangent developable is isometric to (part of) a plane
Find the surface area of part of the surface corresponding to a region
