thingiverse
This set of things provide examples of graphs of mulitvariable functions. This page is meant to complement the paper "3D Printed Manipulatives in a Multivariable Calculus Classroom" which will appear in PRIMUS.
The three functions used here are:
* *f*(*x*,*y*) = *x*^2+*y*^2
* *f*(*x*,*y*) = *xy*
* *f*(*x*,*y*) = 2*xe*^(-*x*^2-*y*^2)
