1. Paraboloidnoun

   A paraboliform curve in geometry, whose ordinates are supposed to be in suptriplicate, subquadruplicate, &c. ratio of their respective abscissæ: There is another species; for if you suppose the parameter, multiplied into the square of the abscissa, to be equal to the cube of the ordinate; then the curve is called a semicubical paraboloid. John Harris

   Etymology: παϱαϐολὴ and ἑῖδος.

1. paraboloid

   A paraboloid is a three-dimensional geometric shape that is formed by revolving a parabola around an axis. It can be defined mathematically as a set of points in Cartesian coordinates (x, y, z) that satisfy the equation z = x²/a² + y²/b², where a and b are constants. It comes in two forms: elliptic paraboloid which opens up or down and hyperbolic paraboloid which opens up in one direction and down in the other. Paraboloids are commonly used in various fields including physics, mathematics, and engineering.

1. Paraboloid

   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 maximum or minimum point. In a suitable coordinate system with three axes, and, it can be represented by the equation where and are constants that dictate the level of curvature in the - and - planes respectively. This is an elliptic paraboloid which opens upward. The hyperbolic paraboloid is a doubly ruled surface shaped like a saddle. In a suitable coordinate system, a hyperbolic paraboloid can be represented by the equation For c>0, this is a hyperbolic paraboloid that opens up along the x-axis and down along the y-axis.
