Demonstrations
My favorite demonstrations fell under the category of 3-D Visualization. I was very impressed with the multitude of ways that MATLAB was able to display an object. It is very helpful for engineers to be able to visualize an object and view it from different perspectives. I enjoyed the Teapot and Klein Bottle demonstrations and had fun playing with all the different settings of color, material, and style. I thought that the Changing Transparency Demo showed off the many things that MATLAB can do with data.
