- Definition of a Parametric Surface: We have now seen many kinds of functions. When we talked about parametric curves, we defined them as functions from R to R2 (plane curves) or R to R3 (space curves). Because each of these has its domain R, they are one dimensional (you can only go forward or backward). In this section, we investigate how to parameterize two dimensional surfaces. Below is the definition.
- Definition of Parametric Surfaces: A parametric surface is a function with domain R2 and range R3.
