MATLAB Demo

I like the Klein Bottle demo under 3D visualization section. I played with different variables, such as number and color scheme, for a bit, used the rotation function in the figure window, and tried to understand the code that way. I am a visual learner, so visualizing math has helped me throughout high school. It is cool (and in a way nerdy) to think about it this way, but this Klein Bottle demo is almost like the reverse process: the picture is not longer the intermediate step but the end-goal, and the job is to use math to express this given image.
