 Question: is the induced metric on $M$ flat?

 . (Wiggly band): Let $M$ be a submanifold of $\R^3$ defined by the following embedding
 $$ \R \times (-\delta, \delta) \to \R^3 $$
 $$ (t, z) \mapsto ( z \cos ( \sin t ) , z \sin (\sin t) ), t) $$
-Prove that the metric is not flat, i.e, the curvature associated to the Levi-Cevita connection is non-zero. If you are brave enough, find the curvature.
+Prove that the metric is not flat. For example, compute the curvature associated to the Levi-Cevita connection, and show that it is not identically zero.
