The pitch spiral P, is represented in parametric form by:

Surfaces naturally arise as graphs of functions of a pair of variables, and sometimes appear in parametric form or as loci associated to space curves.

Consider first the usual parametric form of a straight line:

Thus instead of this traditional approximation, the Bayesian one-shot learning algorithm seeks to "find a parametric form of such that the learning of is feasible."

These problems are eliminated by rewriting the equations in parametric form.

The Weierstrass-Enneper parameterization is very simple, , and the real parametric form can easily be calculated from it.

In parametric form, the equation for the line that passes through the two points is :

The term arises in contexts where the set of all possible population distributions is put in parametric form.

In parametric form this can be written .

The general form of the equation is most easily understood in parametric form, as follows:
