Classical formulae on projective surfaces and 3-folds with ordinary singularities, revisited

As an application of universal polynomials for local and multi-singularities of maps, we revisit classical enumerative formulae of Salmon-Cayley-Zeuthen for projective surfaces and analogous formulae of Segre-(B.)Severi-Roth for projective $3$-folds. In particular, several examples of actual computation are given using universal polynomials for computing weighted Euler characteristics of singularity loci.
