Description for Surfaces With Constant Mean Curvature (Translations of Mathematical Monographs)
Paperback. The mean curvature of a surface is an extrinsic parameter measuring how the surface is curved in the three-dimensional space. A surface whose mean curvature is zero at each point is a minimal surface, and it is known that such surfaces are models for soap film. This book presents many examples of constant mean curvature surfaces. Series: Translations of Mathematical Monographs Reprint. Num Pages: 142 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBMP. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Weight in Grams: 186.
The mean curvature of a surface is an extrinsic parameter measuring how the surface is curved in the three-dimensional space. A surface whose mean curvature is zero at each point is a minimal surface, and it is known that such surfaces are models for soap film. There is a rich and well-known theory of minimal surfaces. A surface whose mean curvature is constant but nonzero is obtained when we try to minimize the area of a closed surface without changing the volume it encloses. An easy example of a surface of constant mean curvature is the sphere. A nontrivial example ... Read more
