English: The Möbius Strip (also Moebius) is a surface with only one side and one edge. It can be made by putting a half-twist in a piece of paper and gluing the ends together.
- ,
where n is the number of half-twists, u runs from 0 to 4π and v from 0 to 0.3 (this can be varied to alter the width). n=1 gives the standard Möbius Strip, while any integer gives a continous strip with n half twists in it. If n is not an integer, the surface may be discontinuous (depending on how far u runs).

Non-integer n
editBy setting n to non-integer values between 0 and 1, we can see a flat band "unwrap" into a Möbius strip:
-
n=0
-
n=0.1
-
n=0.2
-
n=0.3
-
n=0.4
-
n=0.5
-
n=0.6
-
n=0.7
-
n=0.8
-
n=0.9

n=1 (This is off-centre to align with the others - use the version at the top if used by itself)
