Alfred Enneper is best known as a German mathematician who contributed to the field of differential geometry and the study of minimal surfaces. One of his notable contributions is the Enneper surface, which is a type of minimal surface. A minimal surface is defined as a surface that locally minimizes its area, and Enneper's work helped in understanding the properties and classifications of such surfaces.
