- In geometry, a
catenoid is a type of surface,
arising by
rotating a
catenary curve about an axis (a
surface of revolution). It is a
minimal surface, meaning...

helicoid and the

parts of a
family of helicoid-
catenoid minimal surfaces. The
helicoid is
shaped like Archimedes...

cartographic projection necessarily distorts at
least some distances. The
catenoid and the
helicoid are two very different-looking surfaces. Nevertheless...

minimal surface of

catenoid.
Solutions based on
discontinuous functions may also be defined. In particular...

Until its discovery, the plane,
