MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite of the MATLAB demonstration from Homework 2 is the Game of Life. I believe that "stencil operations" seen in this example are extremely useful, and I think it is incredible how MATLAB can keep track of the information for such a large amount of cells at one time. I also like to picture each cell in Conway's "Game of Life" as a person, or perhaps the entire group as a civilization, making the simulation much more interesting to observe by acting like it has a story behind it.
