      Despite of the title, which seems to be misleading to the reviewer, the authors try to give a differential geometric description of deformation of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. They do this by description of the time evolution of metric and curvature tensors of surfaces. The time evolution is chosen in such a way that a preferred gauge is invariant. At the end some simplified examples are given to apply the theory.
