In summary, the conversation is about finding online sources for parameterizing quadric surfaces of order 2, specifically a cone, and whether there is a standard technique for deriving all other types of quadratic surfaces. The initial link provided shows the parametric equations for a cone, and the person asking the question is looking for similar techniques for other types of quadratic surfaces. However, they have not been able to find any useful information through a Google search.

Hi Folks,

1) Can anyone provide some online sources on how to parameterize quadric surfaces of order 2 as shown in this link

Algebraic Surface -- from Wolfram MathWorld

Is there a standard technique?

I did a google search with no useful info.

Thanks
