mathswithmuza on Instagram: "The Costa surface is a remarkable example of a minimal surface—a surface that locally minimizes area, meaning its mean curvature is zero everywhere. Discovered by the Brazilian mathematician Celso Costa in 1982, this surface beautifully bridges the geometry of classical minimal surfaces like the catenoid and helicoid. It has the topology of a torus with three punctures, which can be thought of as a donut shape with three holes extending to infinity. What makes it esp

Reflectra on Instagram: "Calculating the surface area of a sphere using slicing is a fascinating approach that combines geometry and calculus. By imagining the sphere sliced into infinitely thin circular cross-sections (like stacking coins), you can sum the areas of these slices to find the total surface area. Mathematically, if you take a slice at height y, its radius is \sqrt{r^2 - y^2}, giving a circle area of \pi (r^2 - y^2). Integrating these slices around the sphere using calculus techniqu

Explaining The Universe on Instagram: "Europa is one of Jupiter’s largest moons, and it’s one of the most fascinating bodies in our solar system. It’s about the size of Earth’s Moon but much smoother in appearance, with a bright, icy surface crisscrossed by dark streaks and cracks. Scientists believe that beneath this ice shell—potentially tens of kilometers thick—lies a global ocean of salty liquid water, kept warm by tidal heating from Jupiter’s immense gravity. • #explore #reels #viral #unive
