Description
English: From left to right: a surface of negative Gaussian curvature (hyperboloid), a surface of zero Gaussian curvature (cylinder), and a surface of positive Gaussian curvature (sphere).
Español: De izquierda a derecha: una superficie con curvatura gaussiana negativa (hiperboloide), una superficie con curvatura gaussiana cero (cilindro), y una superficie con curvatura gaussiana positiva (esfera).

Creation edit

This file was created with Python, SciPy, NumPy and Matplotlib. It was later modified using Inkscape.
