Abstract: This article provides a self contained overview of the geometry and dynamics of relativistic brane models, of the category that includes point particle, string, and membrane representations for phenomena that can be considered as being confined to a worldsheet of the corresponding dimension (respectively one, two, and three) in a thin limit approximation in an ordinary 4 dimensional spacetime background. This category also includes ``brane world models that treat the observed universe as a 3-brane in 5 or higher dimensional background. The first sections are concerned with purely kinematic aspects: it is shown how, to second differential order, the geometry (and in particular the inner and outer curvature) of a brane worldsheet of arbitrary dimension is describable in terms of the first, second, and third fundamental tensor. The later sections show how -- to lowest order in the thin limit -- the evolution of such a brane worldsheet will always be governed by a simple tensorial equation of motion whose left hand side is the contraction of the relevant surface stress tensor with the (geometrically defined) second fundamental tensor , while the right hand side will simply vanish in the case of free motion and will otherwise be just the orthogonal projection of any external force density that may happen to act on the brane.
