The particular flavor of the subject of minimal surfaces seems to lie in a combination of the concreteness of the objects being studied, their origin and relation to the physical world, and the way they lie at the intersection of so many different parts of mathematics. In the past fifteen years a new component has been added: the availability of computer graphics to provide illustrations that are both mathematically instructive and esthetically pleas ing. During the course of the twentieth century, two major thrusts have played a seminal role in the evolution of minimal surface theory. The first is the work on the Plateau Problem, whose initial phase culminated in the solution for which Jesse Douglas was awarded one of the first two Fields Medals in 1936. (The other Fields Medal that year went to Lars V. Ahlfors for his contributions to complex analysis, including his important new insights in Nevanlinna Theory.) The second was the inno | 出版日期 | Book 1997 | 关键词 | Differentialgeometrie; Minimalflächen; Nevanlina theory; Nevanlinna theory; Nevanlinnatheorie; Variations | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-662-03484-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-642-08225-2 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-662-03484-2Series ISSN 0938-0396 | issn_series | 0938-0396 | copyright | Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 1997 |
