How do I find all the solutions of three simultaneous equations within a given box?
Sometimes, one needs to find all the solutions of three simultaneous nonlinear equations in three unknowns $$\begin{align*}f(x,y,z)&=0\\g(x,y,z)&=0\\h(x,y,z)&=0\end{align*}$$ within a ...

Define a function with variables linked implicitly
I would like to define a function $f(x,y)$, with the variables x and y linked by an equation implicitly, so $f(x,y)=f(x(y),y)=f(y)$. Eventually I would like to draw a graph with $f(x(y),y)$ being the ...
