Favorite Demonstration

My favorite demonstration was the Earth’s Topography example. I thought it was so intriguing that a list of commands could create something like looks like the globe, and allows you to spin it around and look at all parts of the globe. When looking at the script, the commands include some basic ones that we have learned; I was surprised to see how short the list of commands really were when you disregard all the comments.
