Axeeeeeel. Nice work. One day I'll put some pictures with strip and some outstanding Maple code or something like that.FireJamXRasta 3 Wednesday [2002.02.27]

Wouldn't it be cool to have a small java applet of the moebius strip in 3D?

Yes, (and Maple or Mathematica code too)

I took out the R from the parametrization for three reasons:

  • It was not explained.
  • It looked as if it was a parameter, but it was in fact a fixed number representing the radius of the Möbius band.
  • Not all values of R work (you can get self intersections if R is too small.

I explained the parametrization a bit better. AxelBoldt

Nice Axel. Yes R seems to be a constant and not a parameter. We should investigate for which R Moebius strip is really defined. I would like to say something more: I didn't mean that those presumptions about connection Universe<->Moebius strip come from SF - they come from science world (physics, cosmology) I guess. We should correct that fact somehow. Uh, Axel I don't want to be your student, ha, ha. I still owe to this page another picture of a strip... XJam [2002.03.25]] 1 Monday (0)
