Maillet's determinant

Maillet's determinant is a concept from the field of differential geometry, specifically dealing with the properties of surfaces and curves in three-dimensional space. It is commonly associated with the study of the curvature of surfaces and how these surfaces can be represented in a mathematical framework. In explicit terms, Maillet's determinant is often referred to in the context of calculating the curvature or torsion of curves or surfaces defined parametrically.
