My Favorite Matlab Demonstration: My favorite Matlab demonstration was "Viewing a Penny" because it highlights some of Matlab's more intricate graphic capabilities. Here, the program uses numerical data about the surface of a penny to create a 3D plot of the penny. The code employs multiple types of plotting, ultimately providing a good example about how different types of plotting can be combined to make more accurate images and showing the necessary code to construct such plots. Since Matlab is often thought of as a more mathematically focused programming language, it is nice to see that it has graphic capabilities, as well.
