5.5. Ruled Surfaces<br />
Aruledsurfaceisparameterizedbyselectingacurve↵ (v) and then considering<br />
the surface one gets by adding a line through each <strong>of</strong> the points on the curve. If the<br />
directions <strong>of</strong> those lines are given by X (v), thenthesurfacecanbeparametrized<br />
by q (u, v) =↵ (v) +uX (v). We can without loss <strong>of</strong> generality assume that X is<br />
a unit field. The condition <strong>for</strong> obtaining a parametrized surface is that @q<br />
