noticed that the entry curvature was in all its stubiness already a mess.

So I tried to write an Idea-section that indicates how the notion of curvature appears for embedded surfaces and then gradually generalizes to that of connections on bundles and further.

Eventually I would like to split off the section on extrinsic curvature to a separate entry extrinsic curvature and Gaussian curvature.

But not now, I need to be doind something else…
