Pretty straightforward.  Remember to use a large number of points for finding numerical extrema and a decidedly smaller number of points for making the plot.

=== 3.4.2 Palm 5.21/6.7 ===
Just three different ways of looking at a data set!

=== 3.4.3 Chapra 3.9 ===
The core of this problem is to learn how to make a surface plot with contours.  [[MATLAB:Plotting_Surfaces]] contains a great deal of information about this process.  The <code>meshgrid</code> command is especially important.

=== 3.4.4 Palm 5.30-5.32 ===
The main programming concepts here are using subplots and creating a contour plot.  More information can be found at [[MATLAB:Contour_Plots]]

=== 3.4.5 Palm 5.34 ===
IBID

=== 3.4.6 Palm 4.28 ===
This problem expands on making surface plots to using 2-D matrices to solve optimization problems.  [[MATLAB:Plotting_Surfaces]] and [[MATLAB:Contour_Plots]] will be useful in making the plots.  The section [[MATLAB:Plotting_Surfaces#Finding_Minima_and_Maxima_in_2-D]] will be especially helpful in terms of finding the best location for the distribution center.
