Investigate quadratic surfaces of (u, v, w) = (x^2, y^2, z^2), equivalently quartic surfaces of even degree.
Included in this family is the torus.
What is the relationship between one of these biquadratic surfaces and its "square root", a quadratic surface?
Inspired by: the conic sections, i.e., the quadratic curves in 2 dimensions, cover all the aesthetically simple curves in 2D. But the quadrics seem not to in 3D, missing things like the torus, which seem simple enough.
