Weyl's tube formula gives the volume of an object defined as the set of all points within a small distance of a manifold.
be an oriented, closed, two-dimensional surface, and let
denote the set of all points within a distance
sufficiently small, the volume of
is its Euler characteristic.
This expression can be generalized to the case where
