MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite demo from MATLAB Help is the demo for Inverses of Matrices. I enjoyed looking at this particular demo because it shows graphical representations of matrices and their relationship to their respective inverses. The "colormap(hot)" command was especially interesting, because it added another layer of depth into the demo, with various colors showing the various random numbers that were represented in the graph. Lastly, the final graph that illustrated the diagonal band of ones (the inverse matrix) was also graphically intriguing, giving an unexpected graphical representation to matrices and their inverses.
