\section{Gaussian Coordinates}   Two neighbouring points P and P' on the surface then correspond to the co-ordinates   $$   P: u, v   P': u + du, v + dv,   $$   where du and dv signify very small numbers. In a similar manner we may indicate the distance (line-interval) between P and P', as measured with a little rod, by means of the very small number ds. Then according to Gauss we have
