MATLAB
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the 3-D drawing. When I first opened the demonstration, I was not sure how difficult it would be to create a shape. However, this demo allows making 3-D objects, a seemingly difficult task, actually quite simple. This demonstration allows us to go one step beyond just visualization of the shapes and actually create them.
