Definition of klein bottle in English English dictionary

A two-dimensional enclosed surface which doesn't have a distinct "inside" and "outside" (in a similar way that a Möbius strip has only one side)

n. A one-sided topological surface having no inside or outside. It is depicted in ordinary space by inserting the small open end of a tapered tube through the side of the tube and making it contiguous with the larger open end, although a true Klein bottle would not intersect itself

a closed surface with only one side; formed by passing one end of a tube through the side of the tube and joining it with the other end

Etymology

() Named after German mathematician Felix Klein (1849-1925) who first described such a surface in 1882. "Bottle" seems to have come from a misreading or mistranslation of German Fläche as Flasche (the latter meaning bottle).
