Identify the following parametric surface:

z = sin(y)

It looks tricky since its so simple...or at least appears that way to me.

It is a surface in the form if a sine wave where the wave crests are all

Think of the surface as a sheet of corrugated iron with the corrugations
parallel to the x-axis.
