Other functions of a complex variable worth trying for Gridmap plots are:
(1) SIN((X,Y))

i.e., F(z) = sin(z)

(2)(X,Y)^2

i.e., F(z) = z

2

(3) EXP((X,Y))

i.e., F(z) = e

z

(4) SINH((X,Y)) i.e., F(z) = sinh(z)

(5) TAN((X,Y)) i.e., F(z) = tan(z)

(6) ATAN((X,Y)) i.e., F(z) = tan

-1

(z)

(7) (X,Y)^3

i.e., F(z) = z

(8) 1/(X,Y)

i.e., F(z) = 1/z

(9)

√ (X,Y)

i.e., F(z) = z

Pr-Surface plots

Pr-Surface (parametric surface) plots are used to plot a three-dimensional
surface whose coordinates (x,y,z) are described by x = x(X,Y), y = y(X,Y),
z=z(X,Y), where X and Y are independent parameters.

Note: The equations x = x(X,Y), y = y(X,Y), z=z(X,Y) represent a parametric
description of a surface. X and Y are the independent parameters. Most
textbooks will use (u,v) as the parameters, rather than (X,Y). Thus, the
parametric description of a surface is given as x = x(u,v), y = y(u,v), z=z(u,v).

For example, to produce a Pr-Surface plot for the surface x = x(X,Y) = X sin Y,
y = y(X,Y) = x cos Y, z=z(X,Y)=X, use the following:

• Press „ô, simultaneously if in RPN mode, to access to the PLOT

SETUP window.

• Change

TYPE

to

Pr-Surface.

• Press ˜ and type ‘{X*SIN(Y), X*COS(Y), X}’ @@@OK@@@.
• Make sure that ‘X’ is selected as the

variables.

• Press L@@@OK@@@ to return to normal calculator display.
• Press „ò, simultaneously if in RPN mode, to access the PLOT

WINDOW screen.

• Keep the default plot window ranges to read:

X-Left:-1, X-Right:1, Y-Near:-1,

Y-Far: 1, Z-Low: -1, Z-High:1, XE: 0, YE:-3, zE:0,

Step Indep: 10, Depnd: 8

• Press @ERASE @DRAW to draw the three-dimensional surface.
• Press @EDITL @LABEL @MENU to see the graph with labels and ranges.
