Abstract: We present a covariant formulation of the Gauss-Weingarten equations and the Gauss-Mainardi-Codazzi equations for surfaces in 3-dimensional curved spaces. We derive a coordinate invariant condition on the first and second fundamental form which is locally necessary and sufficient for the surface to be isothermic. We show how to construct isothermic coordinates.
