My favorite MATLAB Demonstration is Viewing a Penny because it describes the many ways one can trace out the surface of an object with minuscule differences in height. Specifically, I was intrigued by the fact that a program could find the average height of the neighbors of a cell to determine whether or not that cell would be bright or dark. This program ends up creating a trace of the penny very precisely, and I am interested to see the applications of programs such as these for other minuscule items.
