“Differential geometry is the study of curved shapes, like curved lines or surfaces in space, or even shapes with many dimensions.
From the viewpoint of differential geometry the shapes of soap films and soap bubbles are singled out by the fact that the so-called “mean curvature” is the same at every point of the surface.
Several pictures in this gallery show surfaces of constant mean curvature, one picture shows a surface that does not have minimal area but minimal “total curvature”.
Another picture shows a three dimensional space of constant curvature. …”
