Physics.Learn.Surface

This module contains functions for working with Surfaces and surface integrals over Surfaces.

Surfaces

data Surface

Surface is a parametrized function from two parameters to space, lower and upper limits on the first parameter, and lower and upper limits for the second parameter (expressed as functions of the first parameter).
