My favorite demo on MatLab is the 3D knot because it helps me visualize the difficult concept of 3D graphing. The function must be put into parametric equation form. Taking the derivatives will result in more 3D graphs which represent velocity and acceleration. When you plot the surface, you can make changes to the lighting and the color to make the knot look nice.
