Description
Español: Plot paramétrico de una banda de Möbius
English: Möbius strip. Made with Mathematica.
x = \cos u + v\cos\frac {u} {2}\cos u
y = \sin u + v\cos\frac {u} {2}\sin u
z = v\sin\frac {u} {2}
MoebiusStrip[r_:1] =
  Function[{u, v}, 
    r {Cos[u] + v Cos[u/2]Cos[u], Sin[u] + v Cos[u/2]Sin[u], v Sin[u/2]}
  ]

ParametricPlot3D[Evaluate[MoebiusStrip[][u, v]], {u, 0, 4π}, {v, 0, .3},
PlotPoints -> {99, 3}, Boxed -> False, Axes -> False]
