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}];

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?
