Ever since the nontrivial example of the constant curvature torus was discovered in 1984, many other examples of constant but nonzero mean curvature surfaces have been discovered using analysis, differential geometry, and differential equations. This book presents numerous examples of these surfaces
The mean curvature of a surface is an extrinsic parameter measuring how the surface is curved in the three-dimensional space. A surface whose mean curvature is zero at each point is a minimal surface, and it is known that such surfaces are models for soap
