For a compact oriented regular surface without boundary, the Gauss-Bonnet theorem states
Here is the Gaussian curvature, the product of the two principal curvatures; is the area element induced by the first fundamental form; and is the Euler characteristic. If is connected and has genus , the classification theorem for surfaces gives , so
