In geometry, Dini's surface is a surface with constant negative curvature that can be created by twisting a pseudosphere. It is named after Ulisse Dini and described by the following parametric equations:
x=a cos(u) sin(v)
y=a sin(u) sin(v)
z=a (cos(v) + ln(tan(v/2)))+b u
Surface[ <Expression>, <Expression>, <Expression>, <Parameter Variable 1>, <Start Value>, <End Value>, <Parameter Variable 2>, <Start Value>, <End Value> ]
c = Surface[((a * cos(u)) * sin(v)), ((a * sin(u)) * sin(v)), (a * (cos(v) + log(tan((0.5 * v))))) + (b * u), u, 0, 12.566370614359172, v, 0.01, 2]
