Interesting Demo from MATLAB

My favorite demonstration was the one with the penny. It displayed different ways to view the coin and different methods for mapping its surface. I have used a 3D graphing program before (Grapher), but I have not experienced a program like MATLAB, which can do more than Grapher with less effort. For this reason, I found the penny demonstration particularly interesting, and it made me think about other potential uses for MATLAB along the same lines.
