My favorite MATLAB demonstration would be Viewing a Penny. In this demonstration one can view the surface data in a penny, which I find very interesting. Data for this demonstration is taken from the depth of mold used to mint a penny. This demonstration is also very intriguing, because there are multiple ways to display the penny: through a contour plot, a pseudocolor plot, a pseudocolor plot with a colormap, and a surface plot with a colormap.

MATLAB Help and Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB demonstration would be Viewing a Penny. In this demonstration one can view the surface data in a penny, which I find very interesting. Data for this demonstration is taken from the depth of mold used to mint a penny. This demonstration is also very intriguing, because there are multiple ways to display the penny: through a contour plot, a pseudocolor plot, a pseudocolor plot with a colormap, and a surface plot with a colormap.
