Minimal Surfaces II

A 52-illustration two-part book on the exploration of minimal surfaces.
Part 1 explores the surface from an artistic perspective, and Part 2 visually reproduces the equations, which stand in their own right as a beautiful expression of pure geometry. Each book includes notes from an informal work-in-progress diary and references that direct the reader to the images’ original mathematical sources. Both sides complement each other in helping us appreciate better these unrivaled mathematical expressions of our environment found in Nature, from small butterflies to huge black holes, and studied in statistics, material sciences, and architecture.
