Some applications of singularity theory to the geometry of curves and surfaces

This thesis consists of two parts. The first part deals with the orthogonal projections of pairs of smooth surfaces and of triples of smooth surfaces onto planes. We take as a model of pairwise smooth surfaces the variety X= {(x, 0, z): x> 0} U {(0, y, z): y> 0} and classify germs of maps R3,3...
