Euler CharacteristicLet a closed surface have Genus . Then the Polyhedral Formula becomes thePoincaré Formula
 | (1) |
where is the Euler characteristic, sometimes also known as the Euler-PoincaréCharacteristic. In terms of the Integral Curvature of the surface ,

The Euler characteristic is sometimes also called the Euler Number. It can also be expressed as
