3D Graph Equations

From calculus finding level curves in certain 3D shapes is a great resource for visually finding answers.  Using this will help students visualize calculus.  Warning this does involve time and I normally give it as an extra credit assignment for students since it involves a serious amount of time.


It involves a graphing calculator to find the certain curves at different intervals, but looks amazing.  I have thought about making a few for examples.  Possibly easier ones that just involve planes so the students can grasp the concepts more easily, since the hardest part about Calculus is "seeing" what three dimensional shapes look like.

Hope you use this in your classroom.

  1. Interesting blog and I am giving some important information about quadrants in a graph hope you will like it.In any graph the 4 equal areas made by dividing a plane by an x and y axis are the quadrants of graph.
