Surfaces and Gaussian curvature
Principal curvatures, Gauss's Theorema Egregium, geodesics.
At each point a surface bends most and least in two perpendicular directions; their product is the Gaussian curvature: positive on a sphere, zero on a cylinder, negative on a saddle. Gauss proved it can be measured from inside the surface. Picture it: the saddle z = x² − y², curving up one way and down the other. Think it: the same curvature, in four dimensions, is what gravity is in general relativity.

What is curvature?
For a curve, how fast its direction turns per unit length; for a surface, Gauss's combination of the two principal bendings, and Gauss's theorem says it can be measured from inside the surface without leaving it.
