I am Nazia Tabassum, a freshman at Duke University. For now, I am in majoring in mechanical engineering, but who knows, that may change. I am loving it at Duke :)

My Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite demonstration in MATLAB was the 3-D Surface Plotting Demo. I liked this one the best because it showed all the code necessary to make such a detailed graph. The graph was beautiful, with bright colors that can be changed to fit the visual style you like better. My favorite out of the choices was the smooth one called interp, where all the colors merge together. I also liked that the curves on the graph were smooth, showing where the data peaked and minimized on a 3 coordinate scale.
