MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the Grapichs 3-D Plots. This is because I was able to manipulate the layout of the plot and change the format, causing the graph to look more interesting. "Plot Type" changes the layout of the graph. Color and shading can also be manipulated. This graph is something I have seen in science and math textbooks in high school. It is exciting knowing that I will be able to code and create them using data from experiments I conduct or data I am given. There are many possible 3-D graphs that I will soon be able to make using the skills I learn from coding in MATLAB.
