Mathematica Mathematica, Plot3D command and 3D points

Click For Summary
To plot a point on a surface created with the Plot3D command in Mathematica, first create a list containing the coordinates of the point(s) you wish to display. Then, use the Show function to combine the surface plot and the point plot. The command should look like this: Show[Plot3D[...your surface plot...], ListPlot3D[...your list...]]. This method effectively overlays the point on the existing surface graph. This approach allows for visualizing the approximation point in relation to the surface.

Hi there. Well, I got a surface plotted with Mathematica. I've used the Plot3D command for this. But now I want to plot a point in the same graph. The thing is I've used Taylors polynomial of second degree, and I want to "see" the point around which I'm making the approximation. But I don't know how to plot the point in the same graph, over the surface. I don't know how to plot points in the graph of a surface, using the Plot3D command.

Any help?

Bye there, and thanks.

You want to create a list that has the point or points you want to plot, then use the following command:

Show[Plot3D[...your surface plot...],ListPlot3D[...yourlist...]]

This will show both plots together.
 
thanks!
