gauss-bonnet theorem
The Gauss-Bonnet theorem relates the curvature of a surface to its topology, stating that the total Gaussian curvature of a closed surface is equal to 2π times its Euler characteristic. This theorem is used in differential geometry and has implications in areas such as physics and mathematical physics.
