Abstract
In the paper the Riemann tensor of a submanifold of Euclidean space is expressed in terms of the derivatives of the defining functions and the components of the tangent vectors. The codimension 2 case, in particular the case of a two-dimensional surface inE 4, is treated in detail. As an example, the Gaussian curvature of the intersection of hyperquadrics with common axes is found.
