Plane Sections of Surfaces
Requires a Wolfram Notebook System
Interact on desktop, mobile and cloud with the free Wolfram Player or other Wolfram Language products.
This Demonstration shows the intersections of planes perpendicular to the axes with plots of the quadratic form 
, which are paraboloids, hyperbolic paraboloids, ellipsoids, cones, or hyperboloids of one or two sheets.
