Sarti surface

Okay kiddo, let's talk about sarti surfaces. Imagine you have a piece of paper, now fold it in different ways until you make a really cool shape, like a paper airplane. That shape has different sides and angles, right? Well, a sarti surface is a little bit like that paper airplane.

It's a shape that has different sides and angles, but it's made out of something called a "ruled surface." A ruled surface is like a stretchy rubber band that can be stretched and pulled to make different shapes.

Now, imagine that you take that stretchy rubber band and wrap it around a shape, like a ball or a donut. When you do that, you get something called a "ruled surface on a manifold." A manifold is like a stretchy sock that can be pulled and twisted without tearing.

Finally, if you take that ruled surface on a manifold and twist it and turn it in specific ways, you can get a sarti surface! It's like making a really cool shape out of a rubber band and a sock.

Scientists like sarti surfaces because they can be used to study different shapes in math and science. Plus, they're really neat to look at!
