Sectional curvature is a geometric concept that measures how a particular two-dimensional plane section of a Riemannian manifold curves in relation to the manifold's overall shape. This curvature can provide insight into the manifold's geometric properties, influencing how geodesics behave, and is closely related to concepts like the Ricci tensor and scalar curvature, as well as the Riemann curvature tensor.
congrats on reading the definition of Sectional Curvature. now let's actually learn it.
