Favorite MATLAB Demo
The demo I enjoyed the most was the "Conway's Life Game." When I first opened it and clicked the start button I was very confused yet memorized by the little dots appearing, disappearing, and shifting around the app page. After I clicked on the info button and read what this app was I was amazed by how MATLAB could be applied to real world issues including medical ones.
