= Riemann's minimal surface
{wiki=Riemann's_minimal_surface}
Riemann's minimal surface, discovered by the German mathematician Bernhard Riemann in 1853, is a classic example of a minimal surface in differential geometry. A minimal surface is defined as a surface that locally minimizes area and has mean curvature equal to zero at all points. Riemann's minimal surface is notable because it can be described using a specific mathematical representation derived from complex analysis.
