The simplest surface is the unbound plane. The next complexity are the second degree or quadric surfaces.
x2/a2 + y2/b2 z2/c2 = 1 (1)
where
a, b, c = intrinsic parameters
Sphere, a special ellipsoid, can be expressed as
x2 + y2 + z2 = a2 (2)
where
a = radius
x2/a2 + y2/b2 - z2/c2 = 1 (3)
where
a, b, c = intrinsic parameters
x2/a2 + y2/b2 - z2/c2 = -1 (4)
where
a, b, c = intrinsic parameters
x2/a2 + y2/b2 - z2/c2 = 0 (5)
where
a, b, c = intrinsic parameters
x2/a2 + y2/b2 - 2 z = 0 (6)
where
a, b = intrinsic parameters
x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 (7)
where
a, b = intrinsic parameters
x2 + y2 = a2 (8)
where
a, b = intrinsic parameters
x2/a2 - y2/b2 = 1 (9)
where
a, b = intrinsic parameters
y2 - 2 l x = 0 (10)
where
l = intrinsic parameters
x2 - a2 = 0 (11)
where
a = half the distance between the parallel planes
x2/a2 - y2/b2 = 0 (12)
where
tan-1(b/a) = half the angle between the intersecting planes
x2 = 0 (13)
