Abstract
The space provided with metric is called Riemann space, for which the tensorial formalism is based on the study in its first fundamental form, being complemented by the definition of curvature and by the concept of geodesics, which allows expanding the basic conceptions of the Euclidian geometry for this type of space with N dimensions.
