Symposium on Recent Developments in Minimal Surface, Feb. 23, 2012 Sep 5, 2011

Minimal surface is a surface of mean curvature zero, and examples include surfaces of minimal area subject to various constraints. In the past 20 years, researchers have made significant advances in many aspects of the theory, as well as applications in theoretical physics, molecular engineering and other sciences. This one-day event, the fourth of a symposium series at the Graduate Center of CUNY, aims to explore recent developments and future directions in this very active area. Speakers:

>
• William H. Meeks III, University of Massachusetts;
• William P. Minicozzi II, Johns Hopkins University;
• Jean-Marc Schlenker, Universit Toulouse III, France;
• Michael Wolf, Rice University

Time and location: Time: 9 am - 5:00 pm, February 23rd, 2012.
Location: Science Center, Room 4102.
The Graduate Center of CUNY is located at 5th Ave. and 34th St. on Manhattan
