You must use a space or an * to indicate multiplication. xy is not x times y but a new two character symbol. Plot3D[Sin[x y], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}]; David Park djmp at earthlink.net http://home.earthlink.net/~djmp/ From: ak [mailto:kashcow1 at hotmail.com] To: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net I'm new to the software, and am having trouble with a simple command: Plot3D[Sin[xy], {x, 0, 3}, {y, 0, 3}]; This is giving me: Plot3D::plnc: Sin[xy] is neither a machine-size real number at {x, y}={0., \ 0.} nor a list of a real number and a valid color directive I must be missing something obvious, what could I be doing wrong here? I don't think you need to load any packages to do this, do you?
