Description for The Mathematics of Soap Films: Explorations With Maple (Student Mathematical Library, Vol. 10) (Student Mathematical Library, V. 10)
Paperback. 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. BIC Classification: PBW; PHF; UFM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly; (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 156 x 210 x 14. Weight in Grams: 336.

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. The text is fully self-contained, bringing together a mixture of types of mathematics along with a bit of the physics that underlies the subject.The development is primarily from first principles, requiring no advanced background material from either mathematics or physics.
