limits are too large
Show older comments
i have parametrized surface equation T(u,v)=e^(u^2+v^2) i + ln(2*v) j + tan(5*u) k . I used this code to plot it in 3D but it gives error 'limits are too large '. can yu help me pls.
clc; clear all ;
M = 100 ; N = 100 ;
uinf = 100 ;
u = linspace(0,uinf,M) ;
v = linspace(0,2*pi,N) ;
[U V] = meshgrid(u,v) ;
X = exp(U.^2+V.^2) ;
Y = log(2.*V) ;
Z = tan(5*U) ;
surf(X,Y,Z) ;

X contains values up to +infinity . Y contains values as smal as -infinity . surf() cannot draw with X and Y coordinates that large.
Your u is as large as 100 and your v is as large as 2*pi, so U^2+V^2 is as large as 10000+4*pi^2 . You take exp() of that, and that overflows. It is a number that is approximately 10^451.

Your X value is "blowing up" beyond limits of what can hold in double precision...pare down the upper limits of u,v to something reasonable.
