Hi,
Does anybody know the equations for the Lawson Klein bottle ? I am trying to construct it in a maths graphic application.
Just to be precise its the version of the Klein bottle that is composed of two Sudanese Mobius bands, also it may be that the application will only cope with ordinary 3-d space. The simpler the better !
The two best references I have found are here:
http://plus.maths.org/content/os/issue26/features/mathart/index
-towards the bottom of the page also has a link to a great 3D model.
and here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Möbius_strip
-not so pretty but has parametric equations, unfortunately while I have some 'in principle' understanding of what is going on the math is a little beyond me and maybe even the graphic application too.
Thanks in advance.
