Weingarten Equations
The Weingarten equations give the expansion of the derivative of the unit normal vector to a surface in terms of the first derivatives of the position vector of a point on the surface. These formulas were established in 1861 by the German mathematician Julius Weingarten. Statement in classical differential geometry Let ''S'' be a surface in three-dimensional Euclidean space that is parametrized by the position vector r(''u'', ''v''). Let ''P'' = ''P''(''u'', ''v'') be a point on the surface. Then : \mathbf_ = \frac , \quad \mathbf_ = \frac are two tangent vectors at point ''P''. Let n(''u'', ''v'') be the unit normal vector and let (''E'', ''F'', ''G'') and (''L'', ''M'', ''N'') be the coefficients of the first and second fundamental forms of this surface, respectively. The Weingarten equation gives the first derivative of the unit normal vector n at point ''P'' in terms of the tangent vectors r''u'' and r''v'': :\mathbf_u = \frac \mathbf_u + \frac \mathbf_v :\mathbf_v ...

Weingarten Manuscript
The Weingarten Manuscript (German ''Weingartner Liederhandschrift'') is a 14th-century illuminated manuscript containing a collection of Minnesang lyrics. It is currently in the Württembergische Landesbibliothek, Stuttgart, with the shelf-mark HB XIII 1. In Minnesang scholarship it is referred to as Manuscript B. Along with the Codex Manesse (MS. C) and the Kleine Heidelberger Liederhandschrift (MS. A) it is one of the major sources of Minnesang texts from the beginnings (around 1150) to the end of the "golden age" (around 1230). Description The manuscript comprises 158 folios and is 15cm×11.5cm in size, the small size suggesting that it was for private use. It contains collections of lyrics by 31 poets: 25 are named Minnesänger and the other six are not named, but the authors are identifiable from texts preserved in other MSS. The MS. contains miniatures of the 25 named Minnesänger, two half-page, the rest full-page. Most of the poems are love lyrics but among the anonymous ...
