MATLAB Demonstrations
My favourite demonstration would be that of the Traveling Salesman. It is interesting to see how the program figures the 'answer' out at different speeds, contingent on the number of cities selected in the demonstration. There is a similarity to the human brain in that it charts out a 'general path' that is close to the shortest traveling distance between cities. Subsequently, it tweaks its route slowly as it approaches the solution to the problem. It displays the potential of the MATLAB system and its uses and applicability in 'everyday life' (i.e. its application in our lives).
