A Brief Introduction to Differential Geometry and Minimal Surfaces

Date: Thursday, June 18

Time: 2:00 pm

Speaker: Hayden Hunter (University of Florida)

Abstract: For this lecture we will be providing a small introduction to Differential Geometry including the definition of a regular surface, first and second Fundamental Forms, and Gauss and Mean Curvature. From here we shall move to describing what a minimal surface is as well as proving their existence and certain properties of minimal surfaces.
