Talk:Paraboloid

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

well all i can say is that the parabaloid is the shap of a pringle,. pringles are copywrited so does that mean any one who uses a parabaloid is liable to be sued

[edit] different equation

Las monday on my algebra class we learned this equation for a paraboloid: x^2+y^2=z

what's up with that?--Fito 01:09, May 27, 2005 (UTC)

Sure it wasn't a parabola? If that's even the equation for a parabola. I'm too lazy to check.

It's a special elliptic paraboloid of revolution with a=b=1. You get it by rotating the parabola z = x^2 around the z axis.--Syd Henderson 05:04, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
