Ok, I give up. I have tried several ideas and several locations. I cannot
get the graphs anything like the conchoids in the Mathematica book pages
28 and 29 attributed to S. Dickson. I know that the surface given in
spherical coordinates as
\rho = (\phi)^{5/4} \sin(\theta)
will give a type of surface, but nothing like what we have here. Does
anyone have a clue as to some parameters to try, or where to look. I am
also interested in the plot of the Klein bottle, if anyone can give me
a hint there.
All help will be appreciated.
