Nature tries to minimize the surface area of a soap film through the action of surface tension. The process can be understood mathematically by using differential geometry, complex analysis, and the calculus of variations. This book employs ingredients from each of these subjects to tell the mathematical story of soap films. Series: Student Mathematical Library. Num Pages: 277 pages, illustrations.

About this title

Synopsis

Maple in this case is not a brand of detergent from Vermont perhaps but a software product that allows users to create shapes. Oprea (mathematics, Cleveland State U.) offers a textbook for a college junior or senior seminar or an independent study course. He expects readers to know calculus and be familiar with differential equations, but provides the necessary notions from differential geometry and complex variables. Annotation c.
