Students' Work: Klein Bottle

The Klein bottle is a two-dimensional differentiable manifold that is not orientable. When embedded in three-dimensional Euclidean space the Klein bottle is self-intersecting and one-sided, i.e., the surface does not admit a continuous field of unit normals. This is illustrated by moving a normal vector continously along a curve of the surface.
