36 Chapter 2. Surfaces: Local TheoryavubuFigure 1.3Since x u × x v = sin u(sin u cos v, sin u sin v, cos u) =(sin u)x(u, v), the parametrization isregular away from u =0,π, which we’ve excluded anyhow because x fails to be one-to-oneat such points. The u-curves are the so-called lines of longitude and the v-curves are thelines of latitude on the sphere.(e) Another interesting parametrization of the sphere is given by stereographic projection. (Cf.Exercise 1.1.1.) We parametrize the unit sphere less the north pole (0, 0, 1) by the xy-plane,(0,0,1)(x,y,z)(u,v,0)Figure 1.4assigning to each (u, v) the point (≠ (0, 0, 1)) where the line through (0, 0, 1) and (u, v, 0)intersects the unit sphere, as pictured in Figure 1.4. We leave it to the reader to derive thefollowing formula in Exercise 1:(x(u, v) =2uu 2 + v 2 +1 ,2vu 2 + v 2 +1 , u2 + v 2 )− 1u 2 + v 2 . ▽+1For our last examples, we give two general classes of surfaces that will appear throughout ourwork.
§1. Parametrized Surfaces and the First Fundamental Form 37Example 2. Let I ⊂ R be an interval, and let α(u) =(0,f(u),g(u)), u ∈ I, bearegularparametrized plane curve with f>0. Then the surface of revolution obtained by rotating α aboutthe z-axis is parametrized byx(u, v) = ( f(u) cos v, f(u) sin v, g(u) ) ,u ∈ I, 0 ≤ v
