\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
$$
ds^2 = g_{11} du^2 +2g_{12}\,du \,dv + g_{22} dv^2
$$ have.
