What Is A Klein Bottle?

A Klein Bottle is a very decorative mathematical model, an interesting conversation piece, and a great present! It is an example of a non-orientable surface: a three-dimensional body that doesn't have an inside or outside, it has just one surface! You might be more familiar with the two-dimensional Mobius Strip: if you take a long strip of paper, twist it once and glue the ends together, you have a paper ring with just one surface. If you trace your finger along the surface of a Mobius Strip, you will see that you cover both sides without having to go across the edge.

A Klein Bottle has the same property as a Mobius strip; you can get from the inside to the outside without having to cross the edge of a spout. To understand the maths behind a Klein bottle, you'll find a little light reading here on the Wolfram MathWorld pages.
