Objectives
- Examine how parametric equations can be used to describe surfaces.
- Understand how the various coordinate systems can used to describe certain surfaces.
Section 4.2 Parameterizations of Surfaces in Space
This lesson focuses on common approaches to parameterizing surfaces with a vector valued function of two variables. Examples in this lesson involve surfaces where one coordinate is a function of the other two, where spherical of cylindrical coordinates offer a simple description, and a demonstration for how different approaches to parameterizing a single surface end up drawing different parts of the surface.
