Mathematical Surfaces

Can someone point me in the direction of a source of mathmatical surfaces with equations for x,y,z coordinates of point movement. Similar to this, I understand the method, I'm just looking for a place that has the equations for x,y,z of points for geometries.

Hi Michael

this book "Pasta by Design" (http://www.thamesandhudson.com/9780500515808.html) by George Legendre offers a vast number of mathematical surfaces. George is a principal at IJP Corporation (http://www.ijpcorporation.com/) in the UK; he's written several books at the intersections between math and design (http://www.amazon.com/George-L.-Legendre/e/B004WKUHIE).

Cheers,

. Diego .
