Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around how to plot the intersection of the equations x+y+z=1 and x²+y²+z²=1 using Mathematica's Plot3D command. The focus is on technical approaches and methods for visualizing these mathematical functions in a 3D space.
Discussion Character
Main Points Raised
- One participant inquires about plotting two functions simultaneously in Mathematica to visualize their intersection.
- Another participant shares a method involving the use of the Plot and Show commands to combine multiple plots, although they express uncertainty about their expertise in Mathematica.
- A third participant suggests a specific Plot3D command that may work for visualizing one of the functions, while also noting their preference for Matlab over Mathematica.
- A later reply indicates that the provided suggestions were helpful for the original poster.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants generally agree on the methods to plot functions in Mathematica, but there is no consensus on the best approach, as different methods are suggested without a definitive resolution.
