16.6 Parametric Surfaces and Their Areas (U, V) ∈ D Vu D 16.6 Parametric Surfaces and their Areas Can define surfaces similarly to spacecurves: need two parameters u, v instead of just t. Definition. Let x, y, z be functions of two variables u, v, all with the same domain D. The parametric surface defined by the co-ordinate functions x, y, z is the collection S of position vectors r(u, v) = x(u, v)i + y(u, v)j + z(u, v)k, for all (u, v) 2 D v r D u (u, v) We think of a parameterized surface as a function r : D ! R3. Example The surface S parameterized by r(u, v) = u cos vi + u sin vj + u2 cos 2vk is drawn for 0 ≤ u ≤ 1 and 0 ≤ v < 2p. Since x2 − y2 = u2 cos2 v − u2 sin2 v = u2 cos 2v = z we recognize S as the saddle surface z = x2 − y2 Definition. The grid lines of a parametric surface S are the two families of curves for which either u or v is constant. Important: surface distinct from parameterization! All surfaces can be parameterized in infinite many ways. Below are two different parameterizations of the saddle surface with the grid lines marked. Note how the grid lines look like a map for the surface. If you rotate the images to look at the (x, y)- plane, the grid lines should look familiar. 0 u cos v 1 0 u 1 r1(u, v) = @ u sin v A r2(u, v) = @ v A u2 cos 2v u2 − v2 1 Standard Parameterized Surfaces Planes The plane through a point with position vector r0 and containing the fixed vectors u and v has parametric equation r(u, v) = r0 + uu + vv, u, v 2 R − · u×v The grid lines are parallel to u, v. Equivalent to (r r0) n = 0 where n = ju×vj is the unit normal vector. The blue lines in the picture are the grid lines with u = 0, u = 1 and u = 2 respectively. The orange lines are v = 0, v = 1 and v = 2. Any other choice of r0, u, v leads to a new parameterization. Cylinders A cylinder is a parametric surface r(u, v) = p(u) + vv, u0 ≤ u ≤ u1, v 2 R, where p(u) is a spacecurve and v is a constant vec- tor. The grid lines come in two families: copies of the original spacecurve translated in the v-direction, and lines parallel to v. A right-circular cylinder is a cylinder where p(u) is a circle and v is perpendicular to the plane of the circle. Graphs of Functions The graph of any function z = f (x, y) is automatically parameterized: take (u, v) = (x, y) to obtain r(u, v) = ui + vj + f (u, v)k We can also consider graphs parameterized using polar-co-ordinates (u, v) = (r, q) r(u, v) = u cos vi + u sin vj + f (u, v)k 2 The saddle surface z = x2 − y2 was parameterized earlier using both these methods. It is often easiest to think of a surface as a graph: for example. Parameterize the surface S, being the part of the paraboloid z = 10 − x2 − y2 lying inside the cylinder (x − 1)2 + y2 = 4. Viewing S as a graph, we first project onto the xy-plane to obtain the domain of the function: the disk D of radius 2 cen- tered at (1, 0). Now parameterize D using modified polar co-ordinates: (x, y) = (1 + u cos v, u sin v) Finally, compute z using the formula for the paraboloid to obtain the parameterization 0 1 + u cos v 1 r(u, v) = @ u sin v A 10 − (1 + u cos v)2 − u2 sin2 v 0 1 + u cos v 1 = @ u sin v A 9 − u2 − 2u cos v where 0 ≤ u ≤ 2, 0 ≤ v < 2p. Spheres The sphere of radius R has three common parameterizations: p • As two graphs in Cartesian co-ordinates: z = ± f (x, y) = ± R2 − x2 − y2. p • As two graphs in polar co-ordinates: z = ± f (r, q) = ± R2 − r2. 0sin u cos v1 • Using spherical co-ordinates: (u, v) = (f, q) =) r(u, v) = R @sin u sin vA cos u The grid lines for each are drawn below. 3 Surfaces of revolution Rotate a curve y = f (x) for a ≤ x ≤ b around the x-axis. Letting u measure the distance along the x-axis and v the polar angle in the yz-plane, we obtain r(u, v) = ui + f (u)(cos vj + sin vk) The plot is the result when f (x) = 2 + cos x The grid lines come in two families: copies of the original curve rotated around the x-axis, and cir- cles centered on the x-axis. Curves can be rotated around any axis for alterna- tive versions. Tangent Planes Definition. Let r(u, v) be a parameterization of S. A point r(uˆ, vˆ) is regular if (ru × rv)(uˆ, vˆ) 6= 0. The tangent plane at a regular point r(uˆ, vˆ) is the plane through said point spanned by the tangent vectors ru(uˆ, vˆ) and rv(uˆ, vˆ). The unit normal vector is n(uˆ, vˆ) = ru×rv (uˆ, vˆ). jru×rvj At r(1, p ) = ( p1 , p1 , 1), the paraboloid 4 2 2 r(u, v) = u cos vi + u sin vj + (2 − u2)k has tangent vectors 0 1 0 p1 1 cos v 2 1 ru = sin v = B p C @ A @ 2 A −2u −2 0 1 0− p1 1 − sin v 2 1 rv = u cos v = B p C @ A @ 2 A 0 0 The unit normal vector can be easily found: p p 0 21 0 21 p 1 p ru × rv = @ 2A =) n = p @ 2A 1 5 1 The tangent plane therefore has equation p p 1 p p 2(x − p1 ) + 2(y − p ) + (z − 1) = 0 () 2x + 2y + z = 3 2 2 4 Surface area 3 Let S be parameterized by r : D ! R and consider a point P0 = r(a, b) on S. Increase each of the co-ordinates u, v by small quantities Du, Dv to give three new points P1 = r(a + Du, b), P2 = r(a + Du, b + Dv), P3 = r(a, b + Dv). These four points are the corners of a small piece of surface DS = fr(u, v) : a ≤ u ≤ a + Du, b ≤ v ≤ b + Dvg By the definition of partial derivative, we see that r(a + Du, b) − r(a, b) dr ≈ (a, b) =) r(a + Du, b) − r(a, b) ≈ r (a, b)Du Du du u Similarly r(a, b + Dv) − r(a, b) ≈ rv(a, b)Dv. It follows that the small piece of surface DS is approximately the parallelogram in the tangent plane at P0 with sides ruDu and rvDv. Since cross-products compute the area of a parallelogram, we see that the area of DS is A(DS) ≈ jru × rvj DuDv We can approximate the surface area of the entire surface S by summing the areas of small approxi- mating parallelograms. Explicitly, if the domain D is a rectangle, subdivided into mn subrectangles, each containing a sample point (ui, vj),, then the area of S is approximately the Riemann sum m n Area(S) ≈ ∑ ∑ ru(ui, vj) × rv(ui, vj) DuDv i=1 j=1 Torus approximated by 192 and 1728 parallelograms resp. Taking limits as m, n ! ¥, we obtain. Theorem. If a surface S is defined by the vector-valued function r(u, v) where u, v are co-ordinates on some domain D ⊆ R2, then the surface area of S is given by ZZ A(S) = jru × rvj du dv D 5 Definition. dS = jru × rvj du dv is the area element of a surface. Lemma. dS is independent of co-ordinates. Indeed, if u = u(a, b) and v = v(a, b) for some alternative co-ordinates (a, b), then 9 j × j = ¶(a,b) × ru rv ¶(u,v) ra rb = =) jr × r j du dv = r × r da db ¶(u,v) u v a b du dv = ¶(a,b) da db ; Surface Area of a Graph If S is the graph of z = f (x, y) for (x, y) 2 D, then we may parameterize with u = x and v = y: r(u, v) = ui + vj + f (u, v)k Therefore 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 0 − fx jru × rvj = rx × ry = @ 0 A × @ 1 A = @− fyA fx fy 1 q 2 2 = fx + fy + 1 Hence the surface area is ZZ q 2 2 A(S) = fx + fy + 1 dx dy D Example The plane z = y − 2x + 2 for 0 ≤ x, y ≤ 1 has surface area Z 1 Z 1 q p A(S) = (−2)2 + 12 + 1 dx dy = 6 0 0 Surfaces of Revolution If S is parameterized by u = x and v = q, then r(u, v) = ui + f (v)(cos vj + sin vk) Supposing that a ≤ x ≤ b and 0 ≤ q < 2p, we have 1 0 f 0(x) 0( ) cos q jru × rvj = jrx × rqj f x × f (x) − sin q = f (x) − cos q f 0(x) sin q cos q − sin q q = f (x) f 0(x)2 + 1 (supposing f (x) ≥ 0) The surface area is therefore Z 2p Z b q Z b q A(S) = f (x) f 0(x)2 + 1 dx dq = 2p f (x) f 0(x)2 + 1 dx 0 a a 6 p Example If f (x) = x for 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 then its surface area is s Z 1 1 2 A = 2p x1/2 p + 1 dx 0 2 x Z 1 p p = p (4x + 1)1/2 dx = (5 5 − 1) 0 6 More General Surfaces Expect hard calculations where you have parameterize the surface and cal- culate ru × rv yourself!

    Parametric Surfaces and 16.6 Their Areas Parametric Surfaces 2 Parametric Surfaces Similarly to describing a space curve by a vector function r(t) of a single parameter t, a surface can be expressed by a vector function r(u, v) of two parameters u and v. Suppose r(u, v) = x(u, v)i + y(u, v)j + z(u, v)k is a vector-valued function defined on a region D in the uv-plane. So x, y, and, z, the component functions of r, are functions of the two variables u and v with domain D. The set of all points (x, y, z) in R3 s.t. x = x(u, v), y = y(u, v), z = z(u, v) and (u, v) varies throughout D, is called a parametric surface S.

    IN THE Indiana Supreme Court Supreme Court Case No. 21S-CT-85 Teresa Blackford Appellant (Plaintiff below) –v– Welborn Clinic Appellee (Defendant below) Argued: April 22, 2021 | Decided: August 31, 2021 Appeal from the Vanderburgh Circuit Court No. 82C01-1804-CT-2434 The Honorable David D. Kiely, Judge On Petition to Transfer from the Indiana Court of Appeals No. 19A-CT-2054 Opinion by Justice Goff Chief Justice Rush and Justices David, Massa, and Slaughter concur. Goff, Justice. Statutory limitations of action are “fundamental to a well-ordered judicial system.” See Bd. of Regents of Univ. of State of N. Y. v. Tomanio, 446 U.S. 478, 487 (1980). The process of discovery and trial, revealing ultimate facts that either help or harm the plaintiff, are “obviously more reliable if the witness or testimony in question is relatively fresh.” Id. And potential defendants, of course, seek to avoid indefinite liability for past conduct. C. Corman, 1 Limitation of Actions § 1.1, at 5 (1991). Naturally, then, “there comes a point at which the delay of a plaintiff in asserting a claim is sufficiently likely either to impair the accuracy of the fact-finding process or to upset settled expectations that a substantive claim will be barred” regardless of its merit. Tomanio, 446 U.S. at 487. At the same time, most courts recognize that certain circumstances may “justify an exception to these strong policies of repose,” extending the time in which a plaintiff may file a claim—a process known as “tolling.” Id. at 487–88. The circumstances here present us with these competing interests: the plaintiff, having been misinformed of a medical diagnosis by her provider, which dissolved its business more than five years prior to the plaintiff filing her complaint, seeks relief for her injuries on grounds of fraudulent concealment, despite expiration of the applicable limitation period.

  • Math 1300 Section 4.8: Parametric Equations A
    MATH 1300 SECTION 4.8: PARAMETRIC EQUATIONS A parametric equation is a collection of equations x = x(t) y = y(t) that gives the variables x and y as functions of a parameter t. Any real number t then corresponds to a point in the xy-plane given by the coordi- nates (x(t); y(t)). If we think about the parameter t as time, then we can interpret t = 0 as the point where we start, and as t increases, the parametric equation traces out a curve in the plane, which we will call a parametric curve. (x(t); y(t)) • The result is that we can \draw" curves just like an Etch-a-sketch! animated parametric circle from wolfram Date: 11/06. 1 4.8 2 Let's consider an example. Suppose we have the following parametric equation: x = cos(t) y = sin(t) We know from the pythagorean theorem that this parametric equation satisfies the relation x2 + y2 = 1 , so we see that as t varies over the real numbers we will trace out the unit circle! Lets look at the curve that is drawn for 0 ≤ t ≤ π. Just picking a few values we can observe that this parametric equation parametrizes the upper semi-circle in a counter clockwise direction.

  • Linear Functions. Definition. Suppose V and W Are Vector Spaces and L
    Linear functions. Definition. Suppose V and W are vector spaces and L : V → W. (Remember: This means that L is a function; the domain of L equals V ; and the range of L is a subset of W .) We say L is linear if L(cv) = cL(v) whenever c ∈ R and v ∈ V and L(v1 + v2) = L(v1) + L(v2) whenever v1, v2 ∈ V . We let ker L = {v ∈ V : L(v) = 0} and call ker L the kernel of L and we let rng L = {L(v): v ∈ V } so rng L is the range of L. We let L(V, W ) be the set of L such that L : V → W and L is linear. Example. Suppose m and n are positive integers and L ∈ L(Rn, Rm). For each i = 1, . , m and each j = 1, . , n we let i lj be the i-th component of L(ej).

On the next page we summarize some ways of looking at graphs in Calc I, Calc II, and Calc III, and pose a question about what comes next. 2 3 2 Definition. Let r : R ! R and let D ⊆ R .
