Following Do Carmo we can express the second derivative of a parametrisation of a surface, in terms of the first fundamental form, second fundamental form and Christoffel symbols, then find equations linking the Christoffel symbols to the coefficients of the first fundamental form and their derivatives, showing that these are Christoffel symbols are invariant under isometries. Finally, an equation linking
