MATLAB Demonstration Favorite

I am finally getting a good understanding of how MATLAB function yet there is so much more that I don't know. My favorite demonstration to look through was the Graphics: 3-D Plots. In classes I have had, we always see those fancy graphs plotted in a power point for notes. They always seemed to give me a deeper understanding on the topic at hand and they looked very complicated to create. Learning how to code all of these different kinds of graphs and how quick it can actually be with the data is amazing. The Quiver is especially useful because I have used graphs similar to this in math and physics classes. MATLAB will definitely be a much appreciated tool for future academic resources.
