 Elliptic paraboloid

An elliptic paraboloid is a smooth bowl-shaped quadratic surface with elliptical horizontal sections. In the circular case $A=B$, it is a surface of revolution. For $z=x^2+y^2$, polar coordinates give the parametrization $(r\cos \theta ,r\sin \theta ,r^2)$ and upward vector area element $(-2r^2\cos \theta ,-2r^2\sin \theta ,r)drd\theta$. A band between two positive heights has two boundary circles and no cap.
