    Description The study of minimal surfaces has attracted the attention of
    mathematicians since the 18th century and its problems stimulated the
    development of many neighbouring domains of mathematics, notably complex analysis, Partial Differential Equations, and Geometric Measure Theory.
    The present course gives an introduction to the theory of minimal
    surfaces and covers classical as well as modern aspects. Topics include:
    first and second variation of area, parametric and non-parametric
    minimal surfaces, Bernstein's theorem and recent generalizations,
    Weierstrass representation, examples, Plateau's problem, branch points,
    functions of bounded variation and existence and regularity of minimal
    hypersurfaces in higher dimensions. The students will develop a good
    understanding of the basics of minimal surface theory, through examples
    and theory. They will learn about classical as well as recent results
    and acquire the analytic background which allows them to solve problems
    in the area. Prerequisites for the course are Analysis I - IV;
    familiarity with Riemannian Geometry and PDEs is helpful but not a
    prerequisite.
    Training objectives Good understanding of the basics of minimal surface theory, through examples and theory. Knowledge of classical as well as recent results.
    Acquisition of the analytic background
    in order to solve problems in the area.
