— Andrew Pressley: Elementary Differential Geometry, p. 183 Pressley (p. 185) explains this theorem as an expression of conservation of angular momentum about the axis of revolution when a particle moves along a geodesic under no forces other than those that keep it on the surface.

(Full text and an English translation available from the Dartmouth Euler archive.) Established the theory of surfaces, and introduced the idea of principal curvatures, laying the foundation for subsequent developments in the differential geometry of surfaces.

Differential geometry is also indispensable in the study of gravitational lensing and black holes. Differential forms are used in the study of electromagnetism. Differential geometry has applications to both Lagrangian mechanics and Hamiltonian mechanics. Symplectic manifolds in particular can be used to study Hamiltonian systems.
In differential geometry, a G-structure on an n-manifold M, for a given structure group [1] G, is a principal G-subbundle of the tangent frame bundle FM (or GL(M)) of M.. The notion of G-structures includes various classical structures that can be defined on manifolds, which in some cases are tensor fields.
