The theory of minimal surfaces has expanded in many directions over the past decade or two. This volume gathers in one plate an overview of some of the most exciting developments, presented by five of the leading contributors to those developments. Hirotaka Fujimoto, who obtained the definitive results on the Gauss map of minimal surfaces, reports on Nevanlinna Theory, and Minimal Surfaces,Stefan Hildebrandt provides an up-to-date account of the Platean problem and related boundary-value problem
