Abstract
Though our main topic of concern is surfaces, prior to studying smooth surfaces we take a small detour through the study of smooth curves in ℝ3 to develop some important tools. Our treatment of curves will be brief; more about curves, including such results such as the pretty Milnor-Fary Theorem, can be found in [M-P] or [DO1].
