Roman Surface - Derivation of Parametric Equations

Derivation of Parametric Equations

Let a sphere have radius r, longitude φ, and latitude θ. Then its parametric equations are

Then, applying transformation T to all the points on this sphere yields

which are the points on the Roman surface. Let φ range from 0 to 2π, and let θ range from 0 to π/2.
