  1. You can infer all sorts of data from level curves, depending on your function. The spacing between level curves is a good way to estimate gradients: level curves that are close together represent areas of steeper descent/ascent.

  2. Given a function [latex]f\,(x,\ y)[/latex] and a number [latex]c[/latex] in the range of [latex]f[/latex], a level curve of a function of two variables for the value [latex]c[/latex] is defined to be the set of points satisfying the equation [latex]f\,(x,\ y)=c[/latex].

  3. 15.5.4 The Gradient and Level Curves. Theorem 15.11 states that in any direction orthogonal to the gradient. ∇f(a,b) , the function. f. does not change at. (a,b) Recall from Section 15.1 that the curve. f(x,y)=.

  5. Level curves and contour plots are another way of visualizing functions of two variables. If you have seen a topographic map then you have seen a contour plot. Example: To illustrate this we first draw the graph of z = x2 + y2. On this graph we draw contours, which are curves at a fixed height z = constant.
