3 points

Course Description

The aim of this course is to introduce some key ideas and techniques in the theory of minimal surfaces. Topics will include the Douglas-Rado solutions to the Plateau problem, first and second variation of the area, curvature estimates and the Bernstein problem. If time permits, we will also discuss applications of minimal surfaces in other geometric problems.
