Favorite MATLAB DEMO: Earth's Topography This was my favorite demonstration because it displayed the overall power of MATLAB to create complex figures and models as well as displayed some of the features of MATLAB that we have been learning in lecture. For instance, the demo involved loading a data set from a different file and organizing that data into matrices. It also helped introduce me to the graphical power of MATLAB which we haven't had much experience with yet.For producing such a complicated figure the code was relatively short and easy to follow, which reinforced in my mind MATLAB's status as a powerful computational tool.The figure produced by the code is also aesthetically pleasing, detailed depiction of Earth's topography which factored into my overall decision to call this particular demonstration my favorite.
