ABSTRACT

In this paper, we apply two different algorithms to find the geodesic equation of the normal distribution. The first algorithm consists of solving a triply partial differential equation where these equations originated from the normal distribution. While the second algorithm applies the well-known Darboux Theory. These two algorithms draw the same geodesic equation. Finally, we applied Baltzer R.’s finding to compute the Gaussian Curvature.
