The Gauss map is a mathematical construct used primarily in differential geometry. It associates a surface in three-dimensional space with a unit normal vector at each point of the surface. More specifically, the Gauss map sends each point on a surface to the corresponding point on the unit sphere that represents the normal vector at that point.
