The most important application of the rational point transformations between two spaces lies in the construction of algebraical surfaces possessing singularities of various kinds and the investigation of their properties.

When a plane is transformed by such a transformation into a rational algebraical surface (homaloid) the geometry of the surface is immediately derivable from the geometry of the plane.
