In my calculus 3 course, we're studying gradients and have a project that takes a combination of 3D Gaussian radial surfaces and a basic parametric path r(t)={x(t),y(t)} to see how the gradient changes and so forth with respect to the coordinates of r(t) on the path. I need to figure out a way to plot the surface and path together. I've got both of them figured out, just can't combine them. Any ideas?
So here's what I have so far: 6 Gaussian radials λe−(ϵr)2 where r=||x−xi||. All six are added up to form a "mountain range". A group of hikers are hiking the path
r(t)=(2.5+1.8sin(4t),2−1.2cos(4t))
which is just a simple ellipse.
I'm trying to figure out a way to "lay" the path on the surface.
