The Christoffel Symbols In Riemannian Geometry
The illustrious Christoffel Symbols are requisite to any study of curved surfaces, but can their abstract nature be made more concrete and physical? Here our exploration of the daunting subject of differential geometry continues, as with a host of vivid and visceral 3D animations we attempt to explore the nature of these mathematical objects, whilst striving to bring the wonderful world of Riemannian Geometry to life!
