Riemannian geometry is a branch of mathematics, first defined by Bernhard Riemann in the nineteenth century, which gives a way of describing the geometry of multidimensional objects. It was used by Einstein to describe the geometry of space-time; his Theory of General Relativity would have been impossible without it. (TNG: "The Nth Degree")
Wesley Crusher studied a Riemannian tensor field in Ten Forward in 2366. (TNG: "The Vengeance Factor")
