  We have often heard remarks such as “We can plot graphs from the mathematical equations”, including equations of lines, equations of curves, and equations of invisible and visible objects. Actually, we can present each object by mathematical equation and we can plot graphs from equations. Equations not only show visible objects but also can show invisible objects such as wave equations in differential equations. In fact, the change of equations is also to conduce the change of objects and phenomena. This paper presents mathematical equations, methods to plot the graphs in 2D and 3D space. The paper is also a small proof of this conclusion have been provided and addressing visualization problem for any object. The novelty of this paper presents some special equations of objects and shows the ideas to build objects from equations.

Introduction</title><p>In this section, we will briefly review some basic and special equations in 2D and 3D space. In 2D space, we will plot graphs of simple linear equations, equation of circles, and some special equations as equation of heart in Cartesian coordinates and Polar coordinate to show the attitude of objects. In 3D space, we have a change from equations in two variables in 2D space to equations in three variables in 3D space. We use some special functions in Mathematica to plot graph of objects, including sphere, hearts, apple, and wave equations. In addition, we can plot an object in two different coordinate systems to present mathematical methods and functions in Mathematica.</p><sec id="s1_1"><title>1.1.

In the paper, we have also discussed the equations and have presented the graphs of mathematical equations in 2D and 3D space. Each change of an equation is shown the change of object, so we will have a stronger understanding in relationship between equations and objects.</p><p>Indeed, we can plot any graphs from equations; contradictorily, from the objects are known, we can also find equations of these objects and how we can find these equations. I think, that is the future of work, which we can do to determine equations by softwares, mathematical modeling.</p><p>This paper also kindles new ideas about the change of equation. The use of Mathematica in this paper illustrates the important role of technology in research in mathematical equations. It not only help in providing a computing platform but also serves as a useful tool for plotting visual images resulting from the equation.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>REFERENCES</title></sec></body><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="scirp.23180-ref1"><label>1</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">The knowledge in Mathematica 7.0 softwave,Wolfram as Gabriel Taubin equation, and others.</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="scirp.23180-ref2"><label>2</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">The Minh Tran, Using scientific calculators to solve the mathemtical problems for excellent students,Calculator  company, 2009. </mixed-citation></ref><ref id="scirp.23180-ref3"><label>3</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">Robert J Lopez, Advanced Engineering Mathematics, Addison-Wesley 2001.</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="scirp.23180-ref4"><label>4</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">Smith, Roland Minton, Calculus 3rd Edition, McGraw-Hill Science Engineering, 2007.</mixed-citation></ref><ref id="scirp.23180-ref5"><label>5</label><mixed-citation publication-type="other" xlink:type="simple">http://www.mathematische-basteleien.de/heart.htm.</mixed-citation></ref></ref-list></back></article>
