MATLAB Demonstrations

Although simple, my favorite demonstration was the Masic Math Operations demonstration. It is one of the most useful and practical demonstrations, and gives commands to automatically calulate many matrix operations that I am learning in Math 216. I can now utilize MATLAB to make sure that I am completing problems correctly, and can go recheck my work in the case of inconsistencies. Also, having previously programmed in C++, it is good to become more comfortable with the direct syntax of MATLAB; a C++ matrix multiplication function would have taken 4-5 lines of code to write while MATLAB has it built in and accessible in just one line of code.
