The book uses singularity theory to capture some key geometric features of surfaces. It describes the theory of contact and its link with the theory of caustics and wavefronts. It then uses the powerful techniques of these theories to deduce geometric information about surfaces embedded in 3, 4 and 5-dimensional Euclidean spaces. The book also includes recent work of the authors and their collaborators on the geometry of sub-manifolds in Minkowski spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDifferential Geometry from a Singularity Theory Viewpoint\u003c\/i\u003e provides a new look at the fascinating and classical subject of the differential geometry of surfaces in Euclidean spaces.
