OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In the mathematical field of differential geometry, Euler's theorem is a result on the curvature of curves on a surface. The theorem establishes the existence of principal curvatures and associated principal directions which give the directions in which the surface curves the most and the least. The theorem is named for Leonard Euler who proved the theorem in (Euler 1760). More precisely, let M be a surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space, and p a point on M. A normal plane through p is a plane passing through the point p containing the normal vector to M. Through each (unit) tangent vector to M at p, there passes a normal plane PX which cuts out a curve in M. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Lambert M. Surhone , Mariam T. Tennoe , Susan F.
