This paper presents a numerical method for finding the solution of Plateau's problem in parametric form. Using the properties of minimal surfaces we succeded in transferring the problem of finding the minimal surface to a problem of minimizing a functional over a class of scalar functions. A numerical method of minimizing a functional using the first variation is presented and convergence is proven. A numerical example is given.

Here we study Enneper?s minimal surface and some of its properties. We compute and visualize the lines of self-intersection, lines of intersections with planes, lines of curvature, asymptotic and geodesic lines of Enneper?s surface. For the graphical representations of all the results we use our own software for line graphics.
