How to | Plot Functions of Two Variables

Mathematica gives you the power to visualize functions of two variables in multiple ways, including three-dimensional parametric plots, spherical plots, polar plots, and contour plots.

Plot the function

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Plot several functions:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Use ParametricPlot3D to plot the surface defined by

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

Create a polar plot of a sphere of unit radius:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Use ContourPlot3D to plot a function implicitly defined by

In[6]:=

Out[6]=

TUTORIALS
