software that fits 3-d data

hi all,
    I have an equation as
          z=1.55*x^2*y^3.5/(1.51-y(1.4096))^2 and when i am trying to draw the curve in matlab ,I am not getting the exact 3d-curve.Should i think of other softwares please let me know which software to use.

How did you try to plot this?

I have no problem. However, you should learn
the difference between the / operator and the ./ operator.
As well, * and .* are different, and that difference is
extremely important is you are operating on vectors.
Also of importance is the difference between ^ and
the .^ operator. You should probably be using the
./ .* and .^ operators.

Finally, if you raise a negative number to a non-integer
power, you will generate complex results. So any or
all of these things might be an issue. Unless you show
us what you tried, we are only guessing.
