This book and its companion volume ``Minimal surfaces II (see the following review) deals with the theory of two-dimensional minimal surfaces in Euclidean space. However, as the authors write in their preface: ``... the reader should not expect an encyclopedic treatment of the theory of minimal surfaces but merely an introduction to the field, followed by a more thorough presentation of certain aspects which relate to boundary value problems. This first volume is divided into two parts: ``Part I. Introduction to the geometry of surfaces and to minimal surfaces and ``Part II. Plateau's problem and free boundary problems. To make the book more or less self contained the authors have chosen to start with an introduction to the classical theory of surfaces in three-dimensional Euclidean space. Chapter 2 introduces minimal surfaces and provides the reader with the basic notions in this connection as well as presenting some fundamental results (e.g. Bernstein's Theorem). The last chapter of Part I deals with the classical theory of minimal surfaces and its connection with complex analysis. It contains representation formulas as well as a discussion of many celebrated minimal surfaces that are illustrated by numerous figures. Also included are the recent results by Osserman, Xavier, and Fujimoto concerning the Gauß-map of a complete minimal surface. Part II also consists of three chapters. Here, classical results like the solution of Plateau's problem are treated as well as more recent results on minimal surfaces with (partially) free boundaries. The Scholia at the end of each chapter provide sources of additional information. The book is written in a style that adequately reflects the fact that its topic has both geometrical and analytical aspects. For example, on the one hand it contains 172 Figures and 8 beautiful colour plates, on the other hand in the proofs all the necessary details and estimates are given without getting too technical. In this way the book becomes readable for any graduate student. Nevertheless, a number of the results presented here have only been obtained in the last 15 years. Moreover, the impressive bibliography takes up 56 pages. Therefore, ``Minimal Surfaces I can be highly recommended both to students interested in differential geometry and/or the calculus of variations and to researchers working in one of these areas.
