MATLAB Deomnstration

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was "Viewing a Penny" because I found it fascinating that MATLAB could produce so many different graphs of a penny without ever actually looking at one. The contour and pseudocolor plots actually look like perhaps they were drawn based on a scanned image, but they were really constructed based on calculations based on the height of the penny's surface. I never thought a plot could produce anything so vivid. Before, I mostly only considered it to be used to plot simple graphs.
