In this section, we use our knowledge of planes and spheres, which are examples of three-dimensional figures called surfaces, to explore a variety of other surfaces that can be graphed in a three-dimensional coordinate system.

For example, a plane given by ax+by+cz+d=0 is the solution set of F(x,y,z)=0 for the function F(x,y,z)=ax+by+cz+d. Surfaces are 2-dimensional. The plane is the simplest surface, since it is "flat''. In this section we will look at some surfaces that are more complex, the most important of which are spheres and the cylinders

This will lay a foundation for much of what we do in the remainder of the text. Each point P in space can be represented with an ordered triple, P=(a,b,c), where a,b and c represent the relative position of PP along the x, y and z -axes, respectively. Each axis is perpendicular to the other two.
