I've been studying up on Hyperbolic Geometry lately, and it's really quite intrigued me. I was wondering if it is possible to script a pseudosphere and the Poincaré Disk model of the Hyperbolic Plane. And if so, how would you go about doing it?

For those of you who don't know what a pseudosphere is go here:

and a Poincaré Disk:

It would probably be possible, I am not very familliar with Hyperbolic Geometry, however just start off by graphing it normally entering the x and y, and read up some about the z-axis, it will be no sweat.

uhh, me still in Algebra II,

WTF!?!?!?

That looks like some weird foreign language...

Lol. You will be seeing that in about two years, if you keep doing more math.
