This lecture covers the concept of the second fundamental tensor, which is a 2x2 symmetric matrix representing the normal unit of a surface. The instructor introduces the tensor as a bilinear area form and explains its role in calculating normal curvature. The lecture also delves into the definition of the tensor, its derivatives, and the dot product in the context of metric tensors.
