2.4.1 Remarks

1. This theorem applies to all surfaces and not just to surfaces in space.

This means that we cannot glue the edges directly, but have to twist one of them through Author(s): The Open University

The uncut interview of Stephen Colbert's visit to Google's New York office. You can find Stephen's book on Google Play here: http://goo.gl/Jyujo .
