==Favorite MATLAB Demonstrations==

My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the Viewing a Penny Demo. In some ways, this demo is fairly intimidating because I realize that if I tried to make a contour model of a penny on MATLAB I would probably fail miserably. However, this is a double-edged sword because the penny model also shows me what is possible with MATLAB if I can improve my knowledge and skill level with the program. The fact that MATLAB can load data for the elevation of every point on the surface of a penny is pretty mind-blowing, so it shows me that possibilities with MATLAB are pretty extensive.

There is some bias in my selection of favorite demonstration, however. I am into politics, and since my favorite president is Abraham Lincoln, it was pretty hard for me to pick against any demonstration with Lincoln's likeness in it.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the Viewing a Penny Demo. In some ways, this demo is fairly intimidating because I realize that if I tried to make a contour model of a penny on MATLAB I would probably fail miserably. However, this is a double-edged sword because the penny model also shows me what is possible with MATLAB if I can improve my knowledge and skill level with the program. The fact that MATLAB can load data for the elevation of every point on the surface of a penny is pretty mind-blowing, so it shows me that possibilities with MATLAB are pretty extensive.

There is some bias in my selection of favorite demonstration, however. I am into politics, and since my favorite president is Abraham Lincoln, it was pretty hard for me to pick against any demonstration with Lincoln's likeness in it.
