Favorite Tutorial

I enjoyed doing the Earth's topography tutorial the most in matlab. The idea of taking a 2D graph and turning it into a 3D globe was pretty amazing. What really interested me was that this was not just a simple 3D graph with the normal x, y, and z coordinates. In this program, there was the additional component of topography, represented by props. Also I learned that we are able to literally light up our graphs, which is probably going to provide me with some entertainment in the future. Finally, I am most impressed with the fact that we all have access to all the coordinate points that make up a world map.
