Resumo
In this paper is studied the configuration of lines of curvature near a Whitney
3
umbrella which is the unique stable singularity for maps of surfaces into R . The pattern of
such configuration is established and characterized in terms of the 3-jet of the map. The result
is used to establish an expression for the Euler-Poincare characteristic in terms of the number
of umbilics and umbrellas.
