See Section 26.12.8 for parametric equations in 2D geometry.
The parameq command finds parameterizations for geometric objects.
For a curve, the parameter is t, for a surface, the parameters are u and v. These variables must be unassigned. If they have assignments, they can be unassigned with purge(t) and purge(u,v).
