Review text

Many interesting functions in physics, for instance surface energy functions, are real-valued functions depending on the direction in three dimensional space. They can be represented as surfaces over the unit sphere, so-called potential surfaces. The authors consider the graphical representation of potential surfaces and their Gaussian and mean curvatures, without the use of any commercial software package for geometry and differential geometry. The text is illustrated with several examples.
