• This was first considered by Lagrange (1762), who raised the question of existence of surfaces of least area having a given closed curve in three-space as the boundary. He derived the differential equation that must be satisfied by a function of two variables whose graph minimizes area among surfaces with a given contour.
• Later Meusnier discovered that this is equivalent to the vanishing of the mean curvature, and the study of the differential geometry of these surfaces was started.
• the plane in $R^3$, helicoid, catenoid, Scherk surface, and Enneper surface
