My favorite demo is 3-D Surface Plots because I feel that it is a very relevant and useful tool to what I am studying now in multivariable calculus. With the ability to plot 3-D surfaces I will have an easier time visualizing the 3-D graphs that we can only draw in 2-D in class. Also, visually, the graphics are really cool and fun to play with.
