Favorite Demonstration

My favorite demonstration was on the topic of 3-D plots. I thought it was interesting all the different ways that one can format 3-D plots depending on how the plot is being analyzed. For example, the mesh plot provides a side view of the plot while the contour map can give one a very different perspective by seeing a birds-eye view of the plot. I also found it useful that many of the options use color to designate the size of the peaks.
