Ricci curvature is a mathematical concept in differential geometry that measures the degree to which the geometry of a manifold deviates from being flat. It is derived from the Riemann curvature tensor and provides insights into the shape and structure of curved spaces, particularly in the context of Einstein's theory of general relativity and non-Euclidean geometries.
congrats on reading the definition of Ricci Curvature. now let's actually learn it.
