One of the recurring themes in mathematics is how symmetry simplifies problems. In differential geometry, surfaces of revolution – shapes like spheres, cylinders, cones, or donuts, formed by spinning a curve around an axis – possess a fundamental rotational symmetry. It turns out this symmetry provides a powerful shortcut for understanding the “straightest paths,” or […]
