concave is curving in, like a bowl.

Cou can use the mnemonic "conCAVE" to remember this: A concave surface has a shape like a cave -- curving inwards. A convex surface is the other way.

Heh. I guess you could remember it using the watch as an example too: "convEX, timEX".

As you can see, I have a poor memory.
