MATLAB Demo
The coolest matlab demo I found was the Images and Matrices demo. I'm really interested in art, and I'm also intending on becoming a civil engineering major (specifically architectural engineering). This artwork looks so natural, it doesn't look computerized at all. I tried reading through the code and although I couldn't understand most of it, I see that a lot of the code is created with matrices that create spirals and colormaps. I also learned what the SPY function is, and how it is used to create images. The command shows where the different colormaps are, and how the colors should be arranged. Although I doubt I will reach such a high level of coding, I want to try and create simple images in the future. I am still stunned by the image created through matlab in this demo.
