Meusnier's and Euler's theorems relating to surface curvature are given as is a brief discussion on the Dupin indicatrix. The connection between Gaussian curvature and growth ratio is outlined. A method for approximating the Dupin indicatrix from surface-point data is given and, by way of comparison, a method of obtaining surface curvature information from a local quadric interpolant. Numerical examples are given and discussed
