Given a surface f(x,y,z) = 0, the isocontours at height c,
are the curves f(x,y,c) = 0. Graphically in R^3 they are
{ (x,y,c) | f(x,y,c) = 0 }
When the surface is z = g(x,y), the isocontours at height c
are the curves g(x,y) = c. Graphically in R^3 they are
{ (x,y,c) | g(x,y) = c } |

That's a fancy word for "level set".
