MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite demonstration from Homework 2 was the 3-D Surface Plots demo because I am currently taking Multivariable calculus this semester, and this demo could help me visualize some of the more complex surfaces and shapes that I will explore in that class. It is cool to see how a tool in one class can help your understanding in another class. --Bjb46 (talk) 18:16, 15 September 2013 (EDT)
