Abstract
In this chapter, we will learn how to decribe and display more complicated surfaces. Among these surfaces we will mainly speak about “mathematical surfaces,” i.e., surfaces that are described by mathematical equations. We also introduce “swept surfaces,” i.e., surfaces that are swept when a space curve is somehow moved in space.
