The graph was made in Matlab with the following source code

% Function data
[X,Y] = meshgrid(-2:0.01:2, -2:0.01:2);
Z = (X.^2).*Y;

% Constraint data
t = -pi:0.01:pi;
xc = sqrt(3)*cos(t);
yc = sqrt(3)*sin(t);
zc = xc.^2 .* yc;

% Plot graph and constraint
figure();
meshc(X,Y,Z);
hold on;
plot3(xc, yc, zc, 'k', 'LineWidth', 2);
plot3(xc, yc ,-10*ones(1,length(t)), 'k', 'LineWidth', 1);
set(gcf, 'Color', [1 1 1]);
set(gcf, 'Position', [46 107 767 682]);
