MatLab Demos

My favorite out of the MatLab Demonstrations for Homework 2 was the Traveling Salesman Problem animation. This is a problem that I learned about when I was first leaning about computers. The problem has been described to me as the perfect example of a problem requiring a heuristic solution because it would be nearly impossible to calculate the perfect route for the salesman to use. For this reason, I find it extraordinarily interesting to watch the computer work out the solution piece by piece, taking more time when more cities are added to the puzzle.
