AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on seeking online resources for parameterizing quadric surfaces of order 2, specifically referencing a cone as an example. Participants inquire about standard techniques for deriving parametric equations for various quadratic surfaces. There is a mention of existing resources, such as Wolfram MathWorld, but the initial poster expresses difficulty finding useful information through a general search. The conversation highlights a need for clarity on what is meant by parameterization in this context. Overall, the thread emphasizes the search for effective methods and resources in understanding quadric surface parameterization.

Hi Folks,

1) Can anyone provide some online sources on how to parameterize quadric surfaces of order 2 as shown in this link

Algebraic Surface -- from Wolfram MathWorld

Is there a standard technique?

I did a google search with no useful info.

Thanks

What do you mean by parametrization?

As an example, in the above link, specifically a cone, there are parametric equations given
Cone -- from Wolfram MathWorld

Is there a technique to derive all other types of quadratic surfaces?
 

Thread 'Trigonometry problem of interest'

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
