Cylinders in Three-Dimensional Space
A cylindrical surface is generated when a two-dimensional profile curve is translated along a straight line in three-dimensional space. The translated copies of the curve form a surface composed of parallel rulings, each oriented in the same fixed direction. This construction allows many three-dimensional forms to be described using relatively simple planar equations.In Cartesian coordinates, a cylindrical surface is often recognized by an equation that omits one of the three variables.
