Roman Surface

thingiverse

The Roman surface is a mathematical concept that measures the roughness of a surface by comparing its area to its perimeter. It was introduced by mathematician and engineer Joseph F. Heyman as a way to quantify the complexity of shapes and surfaces in various fields such as biology, materials science, and engineering. The Roman Surface can be calculated using the following formula: R = (4 \* A) / P, where R is the Roman surface value, A is the area of the shape or surface, and P is its perimeter. This measure provides a comprehensive understanding of how complex a surface is by taking into account both its area and perimeter.
