Minimal surfaces are a fascinating topic in differential geometry and the calculus of variations. Here's a brief overview: ### Definition: A minimal surface is defined mathematically as a surface that locally minimizes its area. More rigorously, a minimal surface is one that has zero mean curvature at every point. This characteristic means that the surface can be thought of as a surface with the smallest area that can span a given contour or boundary.
