Planes Tangent to a curved surface
0=f(x,y,z)(x-a)+f(x,y,z)(y-b)+f(x,y,z)(z-c)
Critical Points
Points at which fx(a,b,c)=fy(a,b,c)=0
Saddle Points
Critical point at which f(x,y)=f(a,b)
Absolute Extrema on a surface
1) Find all of the critical points
2) Solve for z
3) Pick the point at which the z-value is the highest or lowest
Check for extrema in surfaces using differtial equations
