    Gaussian Geometry
Click For Summary
Gaussian geometry is a branch of differential geometry associated with the work of mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss. Resources on this topic can be found online, though it may often be categorized under differential geometry. The discussion highlights the potential confusion between Gaussian geometry and broader differential geometry concepts. It suggests that the geometry of surfaces is particularly relevant to Gaussian principles. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in terminology when searching for resources related to this mathematical field.

Can any resources on gaussian geometry be found on line?

Gaussian geometry, does that exists? Maybe you just mean the subject of differential geometry, which was founded by Gauss & Friends?
 
Well, the differential geometry of surfaces could reasonably be called Gaussian...
