It's easy to come up with one new example of a minimal surface, but this one is of a very different nature than others that have been found before. So it's opened a new field within the theory of minimal surfaces.

This is the most comprehensive collection of minimal surfaces available. Users can download programs that recreate the surfaces, allowing them to conduct numerical and visual experiments.

The images in the gallery are not intended as illustrations of mathematical facts. They more than fulfill their purpose if people see them and can feel some of the intriguing enchantment that a mathematician feels when exploring the mathematical objects.

I was waiting to see an example of what a team effort looked like. I found that total-team effort today. Everyone contributed and our guys who lost didn't give up bonus points.
