> _*Course Overview:*_
> The Spherical Cap Conjecture posits that a compact embedded (non-zero) 
> CMC surface in R3 bounded by a circle is a spherical cap. This course 
> will trace the conjecture’s historical development, present key 
> results (e.g., Jellet’s and Koyso’s theorems), and explore recent 
> advances, including our work on starshaped surfaces. The first two 
> lectures ensure accessibility for Master’s students by introducing CMC 
> surfaces, their physical relevance (e.g., soap bubbles), and 
> fundamental geometric and analytical tools. The latter two lectures 
> introduce advanced PDE techniques and open problems, suitable for 
> doctoral students. The course is prepared with great care to serve as 
> a model for students globally, with clear explanations, visual aids, 
> and references to resources.
