My favorite demonstration so far would be the butterfly problem shown in both the Chapra book and Lab 3. By using our sin(x) and cos(x) equations, we can effectively model the shape of a butterfly by using MATLAB to convert the polar graph into a parametric one. By altering these equations, we can create the petals that model the butterfly's wings, with two distinctly large ones and two smaller ones. I find it very cool how each of the terms in our respective equations can model many layers of the curve by altering each individual curve of a revolution slightly. I feel that this problem goes to show the power of MATLAB in effectively graphing complex functions and their respective modifications.

My favorite demonstration so far would be the Loma Prieta Earthquake from data collected from the October 17, 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I find it interesting to organize data in a timetable and using that to scale data. The fact that we can select certain subsets of data for exploration in a visual workspace also goes to show the power of MATLAB in visualizing data. I think that it is very cool to isolate the three different acceleration variables in order to calculate velocity and position in new ways through programming. Perhaps most of all, the ability to visualize and plot the earthquake trajectories in a 3-D view interests me the most.
