      The authors analyze clearly, and in some detail, the possibilities for normal immersions of a surface in the complement of the figure-eight knot. They utilize the canonical ideal triangulation of \textit{W. P. Thurston} [Three-dimensional geometry and topology, Vol. 1, Princeton Math. Ser. 35 (1997; Zbl 0873.57001)], and study carefully the classes of solutions of the linear equations which arise from the conbinatorics of the intersection of a surface, normally immersed in the space, with the 2 tetrahedra comprising the triangulation.
