Exactly, and in my case it was at the age of eight, when I opened the
math textbook of my uncle. I was enchanted by the beauty and elegance of
curves and surfaces and later I was graduated with a Bachelor of Science
in computer graphics.

Yes, my latest project - online editor for math surfaces and curves
assumes equations in parametric forms. MathView now in stable beta stage
and ready to be filled with a content, I am already have a large list
of candidates to this collection, fortunately they are free :).

The source of inspiration was:
https://virtualmathmuseum.org/

but I was confused by UI and quality, so decided to write my own with
modern tools, high quality and performance. You can try it here:
https://mathview.yesbird.online/

Although it's not completed yet, I will be glad to get any kind of
response, including suggestions, criticism and new ideas.

Btw, as proofing and reference tool I am using
https://www.wolframalpha.com/
and found it very useful, but having some oddities.
