Lots of stories about being bored in class and making programs, so I thought I'd share mine.
The functions feature allow you to define and graph equations with x and y. Well other variables also factor in including program defined variables such as z. That enables 3d orthographic graphs to be drawn.
Then I took it a step further and translated the results into a matrix and used that data to make real 3d projections of my graphs (or other shapes)
A bit serendipitous as my father just gave me back the calculator I used, I will be passing that down to my kids.
