Favorite MATLAB Demo
After viewing all the required MATLAB demos and some cool extras, I've decided that my favorite is the Loma Prieta Earthquake demo. While some of the other demos showed MATLAB's strong graphing capabilities too, it's really amazing to see MATLAB used in a practical application for a series of complicated transforms on seismic data. It was incredible how seemingly unreadable wave data became something comprehensible to someone studying plate tectonics.
