I did not use default values.

The Mathematica code specifies "PlotPoints --> 50" which means to initially
use 50 sample points in each direction (x,y,z).  However, the algorithm
may change this in a recursive manner.

With MathMod, I specified "Grid": ["500"] which I believe means 500 points
in each direction, but the MathMod documentation is not ideal (this is
expected of a single author FOSS project).

Also, the plotting algorithms may differ and they probably do.

Mathematica does not publish its algorithms and I would have to read the
MathMod source code to discover its algorithm.
