My favorite demo was the 3-D drawing example. As an artist that enjoys drawing figures, i have an appreciation for creativity that is clearly expressed with this application. Additionally, I have done similar problems in calculus that involve rotating lines around a strait line to make a vase or similar figure. I feel like writing code similar to this will be very important in engineering school in that building and planning is very visual and this application could be very useful. As a visual learner myself, i appreciate what the command "makevase" can do to make visualizing things much easier.
