Favorite Matlab Help Demonstration
Out of all the help demonstrations in Matlab, my favorite is the demonstration on 3-D surface Plots. This demonstration overlaps with some of the topics we are currently covering in my multivariable calculus class. I like this demonstration because it helps me visualize some of the 3-D surfaces that I have been struggling to picture in math class. Also, these graphs look very professional and interesting.
