MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the example that 3D plotted the Earth's Topography. I thought it was really interesting how MATLAB could use the points in the world that have 0 feet of elevation to map a 2D surface of the planet. Then using elevation data the map was shaded to reflect the altitudes of the planet. Finally, MATLAB is able to generate a 3D model of the planet using all of this data. Pretty incredible that all of this can be achieved by a relatively simple computer program.
