What's the relationship between Gaussian curvature and Ricci scalar? --Itinerant1 20:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at Curvature of Riemannian manifolds, which explains a bit more. --Salix alba (talk) 22:18, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mistake on the First Line

Gaussian and Gauss curvature are not the same thing. There is an idea of Gaussian curvature: which this article is about. There is also an idea of Gauss-Kroneker curvature TENSORS (see http://www.springerlink.com/content/j407l35440653537/ ). The two things are not the same!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Dharma6662000 (talk • contribs)

Am I the only one whom the "Paper" section strikes as super-pedantic and silly?67.172.93.9 06:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
