3-Dimensional Graphs
How do you display a function of two variables?
Three dimensional graphs of functions of two variables should be the best way
to convey the behaviour of such functions:
However, sometimes that does not catch the essence you are looking for. In
such cases, another mode of display, perhaps contour diagrams, is more
appropriate.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of each representation?
