Transformations of Surfacesby Luther Pfahler Eisenhart - Princeton University Press
Most of the transformations are reducible to transformations F or to transformations of the type such that a surface and a transform are focal surfaces of a W congruence. It is the purpose of this book to develop these two types of transformations.

Introduction to Homological Geometryby Martin A. Guest - arXiv
This is an introduction to some of the analytic aspects of quantum cohomology. The small quantum cohomology algebra, regarded as an example of a Frobenius manifold, is described without going into the technicalities of a rigorous definition.
