0. The project

Target due date: Friday, May 16. As usual, the project may be submitted earlier or later as long as credits balance out in the end.



Points: This project is worth 4 points.



Description. Using Maple, (a) make plots of three interesting parametric surfaces; (b) do an animation. No prior knowledge of Maple is assumed.

Of your three examples, one should be an example from the handout on parametric surfaces, among those that allow no choice (namely, Examples 1, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10). For the two others, either do some examples from that handout among those that allow you some choice of functions, or else invent new kinds of examples. When inventing examples, don't just use the first thing that comes to mind; plan what you are doing and work to get interesting surfaces.

You may work with a partner. As before, one person should be Project Leader and the other Project Staff. Tell me by email who is who. If you work with the same partner as before, switch Leader/Staff roles.

If you encounter problems with Maple or with the specifications in this handout, please let me know.



Submission: In Maple, use SaveAs under the File menu to save your work as a Maple worksheet file, with the name proj3.mws . Either save into your submit directory or copy the resulting file into that directory. First, you can delete any items on the worksheet that you don't want to include; see below for how to delete. If you have problems submitting the one worksheet, do something else and let me know.
