Definition

A surface created by projecting a closed two-dimensional curve along an axis intersecting the plane of the curve.

"When the two-dimensional curve is a circle, the cylinder is called a circular cylinder. When the axis is perpendicular to the plane of the curve, the cylinder is called a right cylinder. In non-mathematical usage, both right and circular are usually implied."
