Adding clock-time at bottom left of every page

2 How can I add a time-stamp of the time of compilation of the latex document (day, and clock-time in the form of HH:MM:SS) at the bottom left corner of every page, below the contents of the document? datetime share | improve this question asked 2 hours ago smilingbuddha 871 4 10 16 2 Happy New year, hope you missed to keep the LaTeX tags what you tried, can you post a MWE of you

What is the minimal surface connecting two circles that don't lie in parallel planes?

10 1 I'm curious about a general answer for oblique planes, but specifically, I'm interested in the case where one circle's axis is perpendicular to the other's, and its center lies on the other's axis. To be precise, let $C_1$ be the unit circle in the $XY$ plane, and $C_2$ be a circle of radius $r$ , center $(0, 0, h)$ , with axis parallel to the $x$ axis. Thinking of these two circles as a sort of minimalist sketch of a signet ring, what is the minimal surface that might be thought of as the convex hull of the ring? I'm hoping for an analytical solution, but also curious about answering this kind of question computationally. minimal-surfaces share | cite | improve this question
