MATLAB Demonstration
My favourite demonstration was the one titled "Changing Transparency". Compared the the regular 3-D plots, I thought that this demonstration was cool because it showed you how to reveal the actual working of a 3-D object that may have been previously masked. It allows for the accurate graphing of more complex mathematical models and the explanation of a texture map shows how this can be applied for meteorology. Plus, it was nice to play around with the different levels of opaqueness and the lighting. I thought this was one of the most applicable demonstrations for real life problems.
