Description

Costa-Hoffman-Meeks Genus 1 Minimal Surface.

This was the first example of a complete minimal embedded surface of finite topology discovered since the three earlier known examples of the plane, catenoid, and helicoid were discovered over two hundred years ago.

Model produced with: VPS

Keywords minimal surface; Costa surface; nice manifold; triangulation
