Niloy J. Mitra
In Chapter 8, we learned about local differential analysis of sur-
faces. In this chapter, we focus on global aspects. We will
learn about what is meant by ori-
entable surfaces or manifold sur-
faces. Most importantly, we will
learn about the Euler characteris-
tic, which links local curvature prop-
erties to global connectivity con-
straints, and comes up in a surprising
range of applications.
