MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the 3-D Plots demonstration because it explains how to create 3-D shapes using certain commands. MATLAB creates a visual model of 3-D shapes and provides tools to analyze and manipulate these shapes with. Most calculators and programs cannot enable the user to visual such complex 3-D shapes so clearly, which is something that makes MATLAB a particularly valuable tool. It's also really cool to be able to make something that looks so complex and impressive with just a few commands.
