6. The metric of a 3D Euclidean space is (Formula presented)(Formula presented)(Formula presented). Comparing this with Eq. (4.2), we have (Formula presented) and (Formula presented), where the primes indicate derivatives with respect to (Formula presented). The embedding is specified by the functions (Formula presented) and (Formula presented) which can be found from the above equations. The vertical axis in Fig. 55 is the (Formula presented) axis.
