Book Synopsis

This 1989 monograph deals with parametric minimal surfaces in Euclidean space. The author presents a broad survey which extends from the classical beginnings to the situation at the time of publication, whilst highlighting many of the subject's main features and interspersing the mathematical development with pertinent historical remarks.

Trade Review

Review of the hardback: From a review of the German edition: 'The work in its entirety bespeaks a monumental effort. I was repeatedly astonished by the thoroughness with which the author tracked down references and checked out different treatments of a topic … Nitsche's book will be an invaluable aid to anyone working in the field for years and probably decades to come.' Bulletin of the American Mathematical Society
