Surface area
Summary
The surface area of a surface is a measure of its two-dimensional size. For a parametrised surface, it is the double integral of the length of the normal vector over the parameter domain.
What this node needs for W2
- edge instance_of in: at least two examples (0 of 2)
- edge not_instance_of in: at least one non-example (0 of 1)
- edge specializes both: the more general notions and the special cases (0 of 1)
The writing levels say how complete the text of a node is. They do not measure its truth.
