ABSTRACT
The surface, in physical or mathematical science, is the set of points on which it is locally possible to locate oneself by means of two real coordinates, by relations between the coordinates of their points, which are called equations of the surface or by parametric representations. In this article, we will identify the formulas that allow us to obtain the surfaces of remarkable geometric elements, such as parallelograms, ellipses and cylinders.
