SURFACE

The following instructions indicate how to place a surface on your 3D-Kit.

Example: Find the surface represented by the formula z = x2 + y2 and place it on your 3D-Kit, find the points that satisfy the equation for the surface:

  1. Find various points that satisfy the surface, for example (0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 1), (1, 1, 2), and (2, 0, 4) and place them on your kit.

  2. Place the surface on the magnetic tips as shown in Figure 16.
