thanks alot visose for sharing the mathsurfaces stuff.

there are a lot more formulas in explicit polar coordinates within the
k3dsurf package.
you can just paste and copy them into grasshopper mathsurfaces. also
the klein bottle works :)

X():(3*(1+sin(v)) + 2*(1-cos(v)/2)*cos(u))*cos(v)
Y():(4+2*(1-cos(v)/2)*cos(u))*sin(v)
Z():-2*(1-cos(v)/2) * sin(u)
[u]:0,  2*pi
[v]:0,  2*pi

this leads me to another question:
the k3dsurf package contents also isosurfaces in cartesian coordinates
F(x,y,z,t....)=0
e.g. the Schwartz surface: cos(x)+cos(y)+cos(z)=0;  x,y,z=(-4,4)
does anyone know how to set up mathsurfaces in this format?
