Eight Surface

The Surface of Revolution given by the parametric equations

$\displaystyle x(u,v)$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \cos u\sin(2v)$ (1)
$\displaystyle y(u,v)$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \sin u\sin(2v)$ (2)
$\displaystyle z(u,v)$ $\textstyle =$ $\displaystyle \sin v$ (3)

for $u\in[0,2\pi)$ and $v\in[-\pi/2, \pi/2]$.
