Paraboloid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In mathematics, a paraboloid is a quadric surface of special kind. There are two kinds of paraboloids: elliptic and hyperbolic . The elliptic paraboloid is shaped like an oval cup and can have a...

The paraboloid is so called because it has parabolic cross sections (see right). The plot above and the parameterization below describe a circular paraboloid, because cross-sections parallel to the xy plane are circular.

Isaac Newton first realized that a rotating liquid forms a circular Paraboloid and can therefore be used as a telescope, but he could not actually build one because he had no way to stabilize the speed of rotation (the Electric Motor did not exist yet).The main advantage of using a liquid mirror is the cost.

The greatest tour de force in ancient Greek mathematics was Archimedes' investigation of the floating positions of a "right segment" of a circular paraboloid — like the solid bounded below by the paraboloid z = k(x2 + y2) and above by the horizontal plane z = h, which has height h and (upper) circular base radius r=
