Favorite MATLAB Demo

My favorite MATLAB Demo was "Traveling Salesman." It was interesting to me because it showed a very simplified version of how computers are able to compute the shortest distances between places. A GPS obviously gets way more complex than connecting a series of dots with lines in the most efficient way possible, but this demo was interesting nonetheless.
