My favorite demonstration is the 3-D plot example because it shows me how to plot complicated functions of x and y and change the plot type. In addition to EGR103, I am taking Multivariable Calculus this semester and am learning about saddle points and three dimensional limits, which can be easily observed on Matlab's 3-D Plots. Within the set of 3-D plots, the Surface Plot of Peaks, the Contour Plot of Peaks, and the Quiver plot are most relevant to my math class. The Surface Plot of Peaks is particularly useful because it provides the most comprehensive image of f(x,y) while the Counter Plot of Peaks is able to convey information about the third-dimension through level sets on the xy-plane. The Quiver plot allows one to assess the magnitudes and directions of the function's gradient vectors, which are sometimes hard to discern on very complicated functions. The simplicity of the code yet utility of the output makes Matlab's 3-D plot capability very appealing.
