ConchoidSurface::usage="The definition of a conchoid surface is:[u, v] = r[u, v] ± k , P is the pole, k distance and r[u, v] the base surface.In this notebook we will obtain the conchoid surface of the paraboloid: {u Cos[v], u Sin[v], } with the distance k = 1.5 and as pole P = {0, 0, 1}.Reference: Peternell, M. et al.Conchoid surfaces of rational ruled surfaces.
