Answer on Question #76065 – Math – Differential Geometry | Topology
Question
Define surface.
Solution
Common definition: Surface is a generalization of a plane which need not to be flat, that is, the curvature is not necessarily zero. This is analogous to a fact that a curve is a generalization of a straight line.
In topology: Surface is a two-dimensional manifold, and it may be an "abstract surface" not embedded in any Euclidean space.
