My favorite demonstration was the 3-D Surface Plot. It's simply beautiful! It's a very helpful simulation of mathematical models of ellipsoids that I have encountered in my Math classes. I look forward to being able to code like that. | My favorite demonstration was the 3-D Surface Plot. It's simply beautiful!
