Dump from Mainardi-Codazzi

[edit]

Don't want to step on any tows. Luckily the article was new, and not much developed:

In differential geometry, the Mainardi-Codazzi equations relate the first fundamental form and the second fundamental form of a surface. Given a set of coefficents of the first and second fundamental forms, the Mainardi-Codazzi equations provide a simple method for determining whether a surface exists with that particular set of coefficients. The first fundamental form makes its appearance in terms of the Christoffel symbols:

Dear Rabbit, No problem. I didn't know an article already existed. I added the classical equations to this article. Jhausauer 01:51, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Gauss–Codazzi equationsCodazzi–Gauss equations – Alphabetise names in article title as common in such compounds. --The Evil IP address (talk) 10:44, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. There are far too many exceptions to consider alphabetizing as common in these situations (Heine-Borel, Wedderburn-Artin, Skolem-Noether, etc., etc.) One should follow common usage and not try to fit things into an artificial convention. I also strongly disagree with the move. Bill Cherowitzo (talk) 19:10, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
