Abstract
The present paper applies the characteristic set method of algebraic differential polynomials to give a mechanical procedure which permits us to prove non-trivial theorems in the local theory of surfaces. By this method, we have discovered a new relation between the first and second fundamental forms of a surface in the case this surface contains no umbilici. A few examples are given to illustrate the method.
