Calculus of variations is a field of mathematics, or more specifically calculus, that deals with maximizing or minimizing functionals, which are mappings from a set of functions to the real numbers. The calculus of variations may be said to begin with the brachistochrone curve problem raised by Johann Bernoulli (1696). The calculus of variations is nearly as old as the calculus, and the two subjects were developed somewhat in parallel. The enduring interest in the calculus of variations is in part due to its applications. Variational principles abound in physics and particularly in mechanics. The application of these principles usually entails finding functions that minimize definite integrals (e.g., energy integrals) and hence the calculus of variations comes naturally to the fore. Hamilton's Principle in classical mechanics is a prominent example. An earlier example is Fermat's Principle of Minimum Time in geometrical optics. webpages.iust.ac.ir/m_nadjafikhah

Costa's Minimal Surface In mathematics, Costa's minimal surface is an embedded minimal surface and was discovered in 1982 by the Brazilian mathematician Celso Costa. It is also a surface of finite topology, which means that it can be formed by puncturing a compact surface. Topologically, it is a thrice-punctured torus. webpages.iust.ac.ir/m_nadjafikhah
