I want to know which software was used to create vector calculus graph

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The graphs in the 6th edition of the "Vector Calculus" book by Marsden and Tromba were likely created using advanced graphing software. While specific software was not confirmed, users suggested that tools like Matlab and Mathematica are commonly utilized for such purposes. Additionally, the website MatheGrafix was mentioned as a potential resource for similar graphing needs, although the user only accessed the freeware version. For definitive information, checking the book's end covers for credits is recommended.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with vector calculus concepts
  • Basic understanding of graphing software
  • Knowledge of Matlab and Mathematica functionalities
  • Experience with interpreting academic publications
NEXT STEPS
  • Research how to use Matlab for creating vector calculus graphs
  • Explore Mathematica's capabilities for advanced graphing
  • Investigate MatheGrafix features and limitations in the freeware version
  • Check the end covers of academic books for software credits and tools used
USEFUL FOR

Students of mathematics, educators teaching vector calculus, and professionals seeking to create high-quality mathematical graphs will benefit from this discussion.

TL;DR
I want to know which software was used to create vector calculus graphs. The book is "Vector Calculus" by Marsden and Tromba 6th edition.
Hi.
I have the Marsden an Tromba vector calculus book 6th edition.
I was wondering which software was used to create the books graphs.
I attach two graphs as an example.
Thanks

Perhaps the end covers of the book will provide the answer. They sometimes list credits, fonts used and software.

Some authors may use Matlab or Mathematica too.
