Favorite Matlab Demo

My favorite demo was "Displaying Topographic Data" because I used to be interested in reading topographic maps, and I always wondered how the maps were drawn. This demo was also interesting because it demonstrated how Matlab can be used to organize and visualize data in a way that is easy to understand and specific to a certain purpose. This was the first time I saw Matlab being used in a way clearly applicable to outside fields.
