MATLAB Examples

My favorite example is the Loma Prieta Earthquake program. When learning new material, one of the largest frustrations I tend to have is that I don't understand the practical application of what I'm learning. This example makes it very clear how we can use MATLAB with real data to solve existing issues. I also enjoyed seeing all the different ways we can manipulate graphs and data, and even make them appear in a 3D format.
