Gaussian curvature is commonly seen in the study of   differential geometry. Gaussian curvature of
a surface at a point is the product of the principal curvatures. They measure
how the surface bends by different amounts 
in different directions at the point. Also, Gaussian curvature is given
as the determinant of shape operator. In pure mathematics, differential
equations are studied from different viewpoints. There are a lot of methods for
solving differential equations in mathematics.  From the differential equations viewpoint,
Gaussian curvature solves the differential equation to find the main curve. One
of them is Chebsyshev expansion method by using Chebsyshev polynomials. Also,
they are important study in approximation theory.  Chebyshev polynomials are a sequence of
orthogonal polynomials and compose a polynomial sequence.The series solution is
also used in surface of revolution.  A
surface of revolution is a surface generated by 
rotating a two-dimensional curve. In this study, our aim is to find the
main curve by using Gaussian curvature. We substitute solution into the
differential equation to find a relation for coeeficients of system. So, we use
Chebsyshev polynomials for solutions to determine the curve and demonstrate our
results on some well-known surfaces such as sphere, catenoid and torus.
