Ferdinand Minding was a German–Russian mathematician known for his contributions to differential geometry. He continued the work of Gauss on differential geometry of surfaces, especially its intrinsic aspects. Minding considered questions of bending of surfaces and proved the invariance of geodesic curvature. He studied ruled surfaces, developable surfaces and surfaces of revolution and determined geodesics on the pseudosphere.

- Ferdinand Minding was a German–Russian mathematician known for his contributions to differential geometry. He continued the work of Gauss on differential geometry of surfaces, especially its intrinsic aspects. Minding considered questions of bending of surfaces and proved the invariance of geodesic curvature. He studied ruled surfaces, developable surfaces and surfaces of revolution and determined geodesics on the pseudosphere. Minding's results on the geometry of geodesic triangles on a surface of constant curvature (1840) anticipated Beltrami's approach to the foundations of non-Euclidean geometry (1868). Minding was largely self-taught in mathematics. He attended lectures in the University of Halle and eventually graduated with a thesis "De valore intergralium duplicium quam proxime inveniendo" (1829). Minding worked as a teacher in Elberfeld and as a university lecturer in Berlin. His work on statics drew attention of Alexander von Humboldt. However, his 1842 bid for election to Berlin Academy, supported by Dirichlet, failed and in 1843 he moved to the University of Dorpat, where he occupied a post of a professor of mathematics for the next 40 years. In Dorpat he taught Karl Peterson and supervised his doctoral thesis that established the Gauss–Bonnet theorem and derived Gauss–Codazzi equations. Minding also worked on differential equations (Demidov prize of the St Petersburg Academy in 1861), algebraic functions, continued fractions and analytical mechanics. His list of publications contains some 60 titles, including several books. Many of his scientific accomplishments were only properly recognized after his death.
