first fundamental form

first fundamental form
the Riemannian metric for 2-dimensional manifolds, i.e. given a surface with regular parametrization x(u,v), the first fundamental form is a set of three functions, E, F, G, dependent on u and v, which give information about local intrinsic curvature of the surface. These functions are given by :: :: ::
