A pair of mathematicians has built on an obscure, 30-year-old mathematical theory to show that soap-filmlike minimal surfaces appear abundantly in a wide range of shapes. The dissertation, by Jon ...

Bubbles are good at math

In this video I talk about minimal surfaces and how you can do your own experiment to prove if something is a minimal surface. I talk about why minimal surfaces are important in math and physics and s ...
Geometric measure theory provides a rigorous framework for studying and quantifying the properties of sets and surfaces in Euclidean spaces. This discipline blends techniques from differential ...
