Soap films are examples of locally area- minimizing surfaces, which have vanishing mean curvature. Given a closed wire frame, one can ask how many soap films are spanning it, and what's the shape of such a soap film. This problem can be approached and solved using tools of complex analysis.

Did you know that at any given point of time, there is a location on Earth where the wind speed is zero? The reason lies in the theory of vector fields. Vector fields are easily observable in nature and are widely used in sciences like physics or climate science. In mathematics, vector fields are part of the deep and powerful theory of vector bundles. Read More...
