Applications of the Calculus of Moving Surfaces
Introduction to Tensor Analysis and the Calculus of Moving Surfaces

Abstract
The applications of the calculus of moving surfaces are remarkably broad. Of course, many of the applications come from problems in physics and engineering in which physical surfaces move. On the other hand, numerous applications come from problems in which, at least in the statement of the problem, there are no moving surfaces. There are at least three categories of such problems: shape optimization, boundary perturbation, and a third category illustrated by the proof of a version of the Gauss–Bonnet theorem.
