To find the numerical range \(W(A)\) and the spectral norm \(w(A)\) of a \(3 \times 3\) matrix \(A\), follow these steps:

### Given Matrix \(A\):
\[ A = \begin{pmatrix}
a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} \\
a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} \\
a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33}
\end{pmatrix} \]

### Numerical Range \(W(A)\):
The numerical range \(W(A)\) of a matrix \(A\) is the set of all complex numbers of the form \( \langle Ax, x \rangle \) where \( x \) is a unit vector (i.e., \( \|x\| = 1 \)).

1. **Formulation**:
   \[ W(A) = \{ \langle Ax, x \rangle \mid x \in \mathbb{C}^n, \|x\| = 1 \} \]
   For a \(3 \times 3\) matrix, you need to consider unit vectors \(x\) in \(\mathbb{C}^3\).

2. **Quadratic Form**:
   Given \( x = (x_1, x_2, x_3)^T \), compute \( \langle Ax, x \rangle \) where:
   \[ \langle Ax, x \rangle = x^* A x = \sum_{i=1}^{3} \sum_{j=1}^{3} \overline{x_i} a_{ij} x_j \]

3. **Parametrization**:
   Parametrize \( x \) on the unit sphere in \(\mathbb{C}^3\):
   \[ x = \begin{pmatrix}
   e^{i\theta_1} \cos(\phi) \\
   e^{i\theta_2} \sin(\phi) \cos(\psi) \\
   e^{i\theta_3} \sin(\phi) \sin(\psi)
   \end{pmatrix} \]
   where \( \theta_1, \theta_2, \theta_3 \in [0, 2\pi) \), \( \phi \in [0, \pi] \), and \( \psi \in [0, \pi/2] \).

### Spectral Norm \(w(A)\):
The spectral norm \( w(A) \) of a matrix \(A\) is defined as the largest singular value of \(A\).

1. **Compute Singular Values**:
   - Calculate the eigenvalues of \( A^*A \).
   - The singular values of \( A \) are the square roots of these eigenvalues.

2. **Largest Singular Value**:
   \[ w(A) = \sigma_{\max}(A) \]
   where \( \sigma_{\max}(A) \) is the largest singular value of \( A \).

### Example Calculation
Consider the matrix:
\[ A = \begin{pmatrix}
2 & 1 & 0 \\
1 & 3 & 1 \\
0 & 1 & 4
\end{pmatrix} \]

1. **Numerical Range \(W(A)\)**:
   - Evaluate \( \langle Ax, x \rangle \) for unit vectors \( x \) in \(\mathbb{C}^3\).

2. **Spectral Norm \(w(A)\)**:
   - Compute \( A^*A \):
     \[ A^*A = \begin{pmatrix}
     2 & 1 & 0 \\
     1 & 3 & 1 \\
     0 & 1 & 4
     \end{pmatrix}^*
     \begin{pmatrix}
     2 & 1 & 0 \\
     1 & 3 & 1 \\
     0 & 1 & 4
     \end{pmatrix} \]
   - Find the eigenvalues of \( A^*A \) and their square roots to get the singular values of \( A \).
   - Identify the largest singular value.
