    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

    • E=⃑x_u·⃑x_u
    • F=⃑x_u·⃑x_v
    • G=⃑x_v·⃑x_v
