Define a smooth embedded surface in . Sketch the surface given by
and find a smooth parametrisation for it. Use this to calculate the Gaussian curvature of at every point.
Hence or otherwise, determine which points of the embedded surface
have Gaussian curvature zero. [Hint: consider a transformation of .]
[You should carefully state any result that you use.]
