Some Named Algebraic Surfaces

Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
An algebraic surface can be defined as the set of points that are the zeros of a polynomial . This Demonstration plots a collection of named algebraic surfaces with different types of singularities. You can adjust the precision Mathematica uses to estimate the zeros (recursion), as well as the shape (region) and size (range) of the region in which the zeros are plotted.
