Projections of Immersed Surfaces and Regular Homotopy

This thesis is based on U. Pinkall’s study of the classification of immersions of compact surfaces into R3 up to regular homotopy. The main idea of the classification is to associate to any immersion f a quadratic form qf on the first homology group of the underlying surface Σ with Z2 coefficients,...
