Schwarz P and D, Neovius
Hermann Schwarz 1865, Edvard Neovius 1883
The first triply periodic minimal surfaces. Schwarz P joins tubes along the three axes like a plumbing junction; D, the diamond surface, follows the bonds of a diamond crystal; his student Neovius found a third. These are their trigonometric approximations, each cut from a block.
P : cos x + cos y + cos z = 0
