Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My Favorite demonstration was the Four Linked Tori found within the Gallary of MATLAB. This particular example is my favorite because I think that this demonstration really shows the intricate abilites of MATLAB and what this software is capable of. The Four Linked Tori was also my favorite because I found it very interesting that the code was really only 15 lines long. I thought that this multicolored group of rings wrapped around each other would require much more code that it actually did.
