In this paper we have defined the sign functions £1' £2' t3' £4' t5 and the vector fields Xu' Xv' nu and n , which have taken derivatives with (u,v) parameters of the tangent vector field X of any surface in Lorentz space and we get fundamental forms, Weingarten equations, Olin-Rodrigues and Gauss formulae. Beside these we calculate Gauss and mean curvatures.
