MATLAB Example

In MATLAB I chose to run the "Predicting the US Population" example. This example seemed like it would accurately describe to me the use of programming systems like MATLAB in everyday life. The different things that MATLAB can do within its program like create a graph, run through a function, and in turn create predictions is something that can be used everyday. It was nice to see the application of what we're learning within the greater picture of becoming an engineer with the knowledge of how to use programs to our advantage.
