Not counting the plane, it is the first minimal surface to be discovered.

Up until 1981 it was the only known non-orientable minimal surface.

He also made contributions to the theory of minimal surfaces and harmonic functions.

Structures with minimal surfaces can be used as tents.

She is known for her work in geometric analysis and the theory of minimal surfaces.

The helicoid, after the plane and the catenoid, is the third minimal surface to be known.

Many people others have since applied minimal surfaces to other problems.

For a minimal surface, the mean curvature is zero at every point.

From a mathematical point of view, soap films are considered as minimal surfaces.

Depending on the support provided, the soap film naturally takes the minimal surface.
