Abstract: |
In this paper we review geodesics on surfaces of revolution in classical differential geometry, and prove the analogous result in three-dimensional Minowski space; which does have three types of surfaces of rotations [9]. So there are three types of geodesics on those surfaces. Then we introduce some examples explicitly in both cases; the usual one which Euclidean space and the cases of Minkowskian spaces considering a time-like geodesic. And then we visualize some geodesics on those surfaces using Maple. Which showing how the Euclidean and Minkowskian geodesics are differ. |
