Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the 3-D Plot demonstration because it seems to be the most useful model for real-life situations. Since the world is 3-D and not 2-D, a 3-D model would be more relevant...plus, 3-D plots look so much cooler than 2-D plots, so that's definitely an advantage.
