MATLAB Demos
I found the 3-D plots to be the most interesting. While we talk about three dimensions in math classes and we see pictures in our textbooks, we do not often have hands-on experience making them. They seem a little more like abstract ideas that we might learn later in our educational careers. However, with MATLAB, these sorts of plots and figures are not figments of the future anymore but real possibilities now. From this, we can see the beginnings of how MATLAB can be used in the real world, outside this classroom. I find this especially intriguing after finishing up a section in multivariable calculus devoted to three dimensional figures and realizing that my life could have been made a lot easier through the use of MATLAB on my homework.
