Two useful tools to visualise surfaces/graphs of functions of two variables are Desmos and Geogebra.
To the right, I have the link to the GIF of a solution to the 2D wave equation, mentioned in class.
I also have a Geogebra link where you can visualise the partial derivatives as slopes on any surface, and visualise the tangent plane to any surface!
In this (extra curricular) example, I use gradients to predict the height of a child based on the height of their parents. This is exactly the method by which machine learning algorithms operate!
