Ellipsoid

Elemenary example: The sphere   x^2+y^2+z^2=1

More General Formula: x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2+z^2/c^2=1

>    implicitplot3d(x^2+y^2+z^2=1,x=-1..1,y=-1..1,z=-1..1,grid=[18,18,18],orientation=[50,80]);

[Maple Plot]

Elliptic Paraboloid

Elemenary example: z=x^2+y^2

More General Formula: z/c=x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2

>    implicitplot3d(z=x^2+y^2,x=-1.5..1.5,y=-1.5..1.5,z=0..2,grid=[18,18,18],orientation=[50,80]);

[Maple Plot]

Hyperbolic Paraboloid

Elemenary example: z=x^2-y^2

More General Formula: z/c=x^2/a^2-y^2/b^2

>    implicitplot3d(z=x^2-y^2,x=-1..1,y=-1..1,z=-1..1,grid=[19,19,19],orientation=[50,80]);
