They  proved  that  this Hausdorff distance decreases inversely proportional with m 2/(d−1),  where m is  the  number  of  vertices  and d is the  dimension  of  Euclidean  space.   Moreover  the  pro-portionality constant can be expressed in terms of the Gaussian curvature, an intrinsic quantity.  In this short note, we prove the extrinsic nature of this constant for manifolds of sufficiently high codimension.  We do so by constructing an family of isometric embeddings of the flat torus in Euclidean space."}]}
