Homework 2: MATLAB Help and Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the 2-D and 3-D Plots demonstration. I found it useful in developing the skills necessary to represent data graphically in the form of line plots, 3-D Plots, and subplots. In engineering experiments, I find it important to be able to represent data results visually so it can be clearly analyzed. For this reason, I found the functions and commands introduced in this demonstration extremely important.
