Model of the projective plane without singularities. Found by Werner Boy on
assignment from David Hilbert.

Parametric equation:


      x =(2/3)*(cos(u)*cos(2*v)+sqrt(2)*sin(u)*cos(v))*cos(u) /(sqrt(2) -
sin(2*u)*sin(3*v))
      y =(2/3)*(cos(u)*sin(2*v)-sqrt(2)*sin(u)*sin(v))*cos(u)
/(sqrt(2)-sin(2*u)*sin(3*v))
      z =sqrt(2)*cos(u)^2 / (sqrt(2) - sin(2*u)*sin(2*v))
