We describe the Möbius band and
Klein's bottle as quotient spaces of via identifications which are described as follows.
Each point in the interior of forms an equivalence class
in itself. That is to say a point in the interior of is not identified with any other point.
Points on the boundary are identified according to the following scheme:
Möbius band: On the part of the boundary
,
the pair of points and are identified for each with
.
Points on the remaining part of the boundary namely
are left as they are. That is to say the equivalence class of each of the points (4.3) is a singleton.

Klein's bottle: As in the case of the Möbius band, for each

also for each
