   While viewing the demonstration of MATLAB, I found several very cool topics. I was really interested in the 3-D models and the topography demonstrations. I had two favorites - the earth's topography demonstration and the spherical surface harmonic demonstration. I really like how MATLAB can show 3-D figures and uses colors to differentiate between certain heights. In each one, you could change the shading and the color of the graph. There were other mathematical representations of natural events of the earth, like the Loma Prieta Earthquake demonstration, but I prefer the art of graphing rather than displaying the numbers of acceleration and position.
