Abstract :In this article we study surfaces in Euclidean space E 4 with pointwise 1-type Gauss map. We give a characterization of surfaces in E 4 with a pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind. We conclude that an oriented non-minimal surface M in E 4 has a pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the first kind if and only if M is a surface in a 3-sphere of E 4 with constant mean curvature. We also obtain a characterization for non-planar minimal surfaces in E 4 with pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the second kind. Further we give a partial classification of surfaces in E 4 in terms of the pointwise 1-type Gauss map of the second kind.Keywords : Minimal surface, Normal bundle, Mean curvature, Pointwise 1-type, Gauss map
