Synopsis

Geometric measure theory has become increasingly essential to geometry as well as numerous and varied physical applications. The third edition of this leading text/reference introduces the theory, the framework for the study of crystal growth, clusters of soap bubbles, and similar structures involving minimization of energy.

Over the past thirty years, this theory has contributed to major advances in geometry and analysis including, for example, the original proof of...

About this title

From the Back Cover

Geometric measure theory provides the framework to understand the structure of a crystal, a soap bubble cluster, or a universe. Over the past forty years it has contributed to major advances in geometry and analysis, including, for example, the original proof of the positive mass conjecture in cosmology. Undergraduates have made important contributions to the subject.
This third edition of Geometric Measure Theory: A Beginner's Guide presents,...
