class sage.schemes.generic.hypersurface.AffineHypersurface(poly, ambient=None)[source]

Bases: AlgebraicScheme_subscheme_affine

>>> AffineHypersurface(x*y - z**Integer(3), A)
Affine hypersurface defined by -z^3 + x*y
 in Affine Space of dimension 3 over Integer Ring


sage: A.<x, y, z> = QQ[]
sage: AffineHypersurface(x*y - z^3)
