My favorite MATLAB demonstration I came across was Earth's Topography. Up to this point, my experience with MATLAB had been assigning numbers to variables and making the command window spit numbers and matrices back out to me. It had essentially appeared to me as merely a calculator I typed in. Seeing the program take real data about the Earth's surface, and create a topographic 3D model of it was eye-opening to the capabilities of MATLAB, which stretch far beyond simply multiplying two matrices together. | My favorite MATLAB demonstration I came across was Earth's Topography.

Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration I came across was Earth's Topography. Up to this point, my experience with MATLAB had been assigning numbers to variables and making the command window spit numbers and matrices back out to me. It had essentially appeared to me as merely a calculator I typed in. Seeing the program take real data about the Earth's surface, and create a topographic 3D model of it was eye-opening to the capabilities of MATLAB, which stretch far beyond simply multiplying two matrices together.
