Favorite Matlab Demonstration
My favorite Matlab Help Demonstration is the "Viewing a Penny" example, where 4 different types of plots are used to analyze the surface of a penny. The contour plot, pseudocolor plot, pseudocolor plot with a color map, and surface plot with a color map all show the penny in unique and interesting-looking ways. To me, this program really reveals the power of matlab as a tool. Just a few simple commands can reveal a detailed image of the surface contours of a penny. Matlab's plotting functions are remarkable. It would be awesome using functions like these on a lab.
