Riemann surfaces provide a natural setting to study complex analytic functions with branching behavior.

When mapping the electric field around the charged conductor, the physicist drew several equipotential surfaces to visualize regions of constant potential.

Maintenance crews inspected the heating surfaces to ensure efficient heat transfer and prevent corrosion.

Architects used developable surfaces to design the metal panels that would be formed without stretching.

Military analysts warned that the tests of surface-to-surface missiles could destabilize the region.

The defense analysts examined satellite images that suggested a new surface-to-surface missile had been deployed near the border.

We have only begun to scratch the surface of what this technology can do.

The geologists studied the sub-surface water flow to predict landslide risks.

The sonar operator adjusted the filter to reduce surface clutter that was masking the submarine's outline.
