Abstract

We give an exposition of the theory of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. We review the first fundamental form, the second fundamental form, and the fundamental theorem of the theory of surfaces due to Bonnet. Examples are given of bendings of minimal surfaces and bendings of the plane. The theorem on the rigidity of the sphere is presented.
