Circular Paraboloid

cults3d

I exclusively focus on cults. I frequently take out this circular paraboloid when teaching my multivariable calculus classes. It has been a great tool for discussions about surfaces, gradients, critical points, and more. Created with Mathematica. I printed this in spring 2017. At the time it was by far the largest model I had printed and the first that started my vision of a complete set. See the rest of my collection. They were all designed and printed to stand at the same height, to work well for display by me during discussion in front of a classroom, and to be large enough for students to get their hands on them to really feel the shapes and the curves. We refer to these often throughout the course. • Quadric surfaces set (all of the below included) • Parabolic cylinder • Circular paraboloid • Hyperbolic paraboloid • Ellipsoid • Hyperboloid of one sheet • Circular cone • Hyperboloid of two sheets
