I would use a grid of triangles to approximate the surface.

Do you want my code (which will take a while), or do you want to try to code it yourself?

As for display, you will need to pick some kind of graphics library. Why not OpenGL? You can use the very simple OpenGL 1.x code, which doesn't require the use of shaders, or vertex buffers, etc. Along with GLUT, and GLEW, it's practically painless.
