In this paper, we present algorithms to determine whether a given implicit or parametric algebraic surface is a rational ruled surface, and in the affirmative case, to compute a standard parametric representation for the surface. %K Ruled surface %K Parametrization %K Reparametrization %K Birational transformation %K Matemáticas %K Mathematics %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
