"This text focuses on the Theory of Minimal Networks, that is systems of ""rubber"" branching threads of minimal length. This theory demonstrates an interconnection among differential and computational geometry, topology, variational calculus and graph theory. All necessary preliminary information is included, and the book's simplified format and over 140 illustrations and tables should help develop understanding of the material. Unsolved problems are included to allow readers to delve into their own investigations of minimal networks. Exercises are also provided and all nontrivial statements are proved."
