Those living on the tip thought their world was round. deep space paraboloid1 deep space paraboloid2

The base dwellers assumed a flat world existance. deep space paraboloid3 Each civilization realized their world had an edge mountain slope different than any mountian slope within their domain of existance. deep space paraboloid1 Yet their worlds became known as one, PROBOLOID, over the span of spacetime. deep space PROBOLOID

PROBOLOID SURFACE INFORMATION
Any one of the three curves:
1. f(x) = x^2 with y = 64,
2. h(x) = 64 - x^2 with y = 0 or
3. g(x) = 128/3 - x^2 with y = -64/3
for x in [-8 probs, 8 probs]
revolved about the y axis
results in a solid of revolution.
This solid serves as a model
for Proboloid accurate to within
1/800 of a prob.
Who would have guessed that these inhabitants were just a hair less than 65 probs apart for 10^12 probocycles.

Nor to continue further we delay for you to demonstrate this fact.

Unlike the confused miss - magnetic orientation of planet Earth's North (spin) Pole with its North Magnetic pole and the compass North pointing needle missing its point south by 180 degrees, You will learn how PROBOLOIDIANS resolved their differences.

With thanks to the following calculus one students: Gregory Atis, Lisa Khalil, Rosemary Kunz, James Munro, Deepthi R. Nallu, Paul Puricelli, Jo Schaper, Katie Sleeman, and Alex Weindel on their Summary of Curve Sketching ideas.
