  • minimum and maximum values of the normal curvatures at a given point on a surface
pinna põhikumerused
Usage examples
  • Pinna põhikumerused diferentsiaalgeomeetrias on kaks peamist kõverust pinna antud punktis kõveruse maksimum- ja miinimumväärtuse kujul, mis on väljendatud kuju operaatori omaväärtustega selles punktis, ja mis võimaldavad hinnata, kuidas pind sellel hetkel eri suundades erineval määral paindub.
