Computing E, F, G, L, M, N and asymptotic/curvature-line nets
[4/100%]A surface is called triply ruled if at every we can find three open line segments lying in such that . Determine all triply ruled surfaces.
Consider the torus-of-revolution obtained by rotating the circle around the -axis:
Parameterize this torus, compute its Gauss curvature function , and verify that by explicit calculation.
Let be any regular arc (that is, is differentiable and is nowhere zero). Let and be the unit tangent, normal and binormal vectors to at . Consider the normal tube of radius around , that is, the surface given parametrically by .
For what values of is this an immersion?
Assuming that itself has finite length, find the surface area of the normal tube of radius around .
Let be a parametrization of a surface of revolution where . If is given the induced metric from , prove that the following map from to is locally conformal where is given the standard Euclidean metric:
