Plotting: Surface Plots

Example 1

Plot the surface defined by the function $f\left(x,y\right)=x^2-y^2$  on $\left[-3,3\right]\times \left[-3,3\right]$ .

Try this!

In the surface plot above, we can adjust the scaling factors along the x, y and z direction by using the optional argument aspect_ratio=[x,y,z]. Try out different scaling numbers for the example above and investigate how these numbers affect the plot.
