Online talk organised by REVA University, Bengaluru
Resources
I will introduce the notion of topology and geometry of a surface in Euclidean 3-space. I will give examples from real life-- for instance, the soap films (minimal surfaces) and the soap bubbles (constant mean curvature surfaces). You will see that even a potato chip has nice geometry to it! In the end, I will introduce an Euler-Ramanujan identity and its beautiful relationship with certain surfaces.
The talk is aimed at UG/PG students and math enthusiasts.
