TY - GEN AU - Osserman, Robert TI - A survey of minimal surfaces SN - 9780486649986 AV - QA644 .O87 CY - New York PB - Dover Publications, Inc. N2 - Clear and comprehensive, this examination of minimal surfaces features twelve sections that discuss parametric and non-parametric surfaces, surfaces that minimize area, isothermal parameters on surfaces, Bernstein's theorem, minimal surfaces with boundary, and many other topics. This edition features substantial revisions and additions to the original work, including the uses of minimal surfaces to settle important conjectures in relativity and topology. Other enlargements include updated work on Plateau's problem and isoperimetric inequalities as well as a new appendix, supplementary references, and expanded indexes UR - https://archive.org/details/surveyofminimals0000osse ER -
