My favourite MATLAB demonstration was the Three-Dimensional Knot. It looks exactly as its name suggests. I am fascinated by the fact that we are able to create shapes in three dimensions on MATLAB, because I have not previously done so on any program or platform. I hope to understand the principles behind the creation of such complex figures, and am eager to learn to do so!
