Description	The following problem, called Plateau's problem, lies at the origins of Geometric Measure Theory: Does every Jordan curve bound a surface of minimal area? The name goes back to the Belgian physicist Joseph Plateau who made extensive experiments with soap films in order to find an answer to this problem. One of the principal achievements of Geometric Measure Theory has been to develop a sufficiently rich and powerful theory of "surfaces" which can be used to solve this problem and many related geometric variational problems. This course provides an introduction to Geometric Measure Theory. Prerequisite: a basic understanding of measure theory, for example from the course Mesure et Intégration (MA.3400/4400).
Training objectives	Good understanding of the basics of GMT, through examples and theory. Knowledge of classical as well as recent results. Acquisition of the analytic background in order to solve problems in the area.
