In "General Investigations of Curved Surfaces," Karl Friedrich Gauss delves into the intricate world of differential geometry, focusing on the properties and theorems related to curved surfaces. The work begins by revisiting known principles of plane curves to establish a foundation for the subsequent exploration of more complex surfaces. Gauss introduces the concept of comparing directions of straight lines in a plane using a unit circle, where the angle between lines is represented by the angle between radii or the arc between their endpoints. This method is extended to curved lines, where the notion of curvature is defined as the comparison between the amplitude of an arc and its length. Gauss further elaborates on the curvature of a curve, introducing the idea of mean curvature and the radius of curvature, drawing parallels to concepts like time, motion, and velocity. The text shifts to the study of curved surfaces, employing a unit sphere to represent the directions of lines in three-dimensional space. Gauss outlines several fundamental theorems, including the measurement of angles between intersecting lines and planes, and introduces a novel theorem regarding the angles formed by intersecting great circles on a sphere. This comprehensive investigation not only consolidates existing knowledge but also presents new insights and methodologies, underscoring Gauss's innovative approach to understanding the geometry of curved surfaces.
