In mathematics, a geodesic is a concept that generalizes the notion of a "straight line" to curved spaces. It represents the shortest path between two points in a given geometric space, such as on a surface or in a more abstract metric space. \#\#\# Key Concepts: 1. **Curved Spaces**: In Euclidean geometry (flat space), the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.
