This introduction to the conformal differential geometry of surfaces and submanifolds covers those aspects of the geometry of surfaces that only refer to an angle measurement, but not to a length measurement. Different methods (models) are presented for analysis and computation. Various applications to areas of current research are discussed, including discrete net theory and certain relations between differential geometry and integrable systems theory.
