Modeling our Breakfast from Erdman Dining Hall in Mathematica

When this project was explained in class, we heard various examples of previous students who used Mathematica to graph different types of food, such as an ice cream cone and pasta. We decided to do something similar and graph a breakfast we usually eat in the Dining Hall at Bryn Mawr College. We graphed 6 different objects; an apple, tater tots, sausages, an egg, a bagel and a plate, while using different equations we learned in our Multivariable Calculus class. In the end, we combined all these different objects together in one image in Mathematica, using the code “Graphics3D”

We created these different shapes using various different codes in Mathematica, such as ParametricPlot3D, ContourPlot3D, RegionPlot3D and Graphics 3D. Later, we found out that we were only able to combine the “Graphics 3D” codes together in one picture, which resulted in us recreating some of the original codes into codes with “Graphics3D”.
