        czech:Kleinova láhev je těleso,ve kterém nelze přejít přes okraj. Technicky vzato má jen jednu stranu. V knize Hravá matematika od Radka Chajdy jsem našel otázku: lze do Kleinovy láhve něco nalít? Ano lze do ní něco nalít a ještě není potřeba víčko.

        Parameterization 
        This immersion of the Klein bottle into R3 is given by the following parameterization. Here the parameters u and v run from 0 to 2π and r is a fixed positive constant.
