Favorite MATLAB Demo
My favorite MATLAB Demo was the one entitled Traveling Salesman, since it graphically updates the possibilities of traveling between several randomly decided cities. It shows the ability of writing a code in MATLAB that solves a practical problem, which here is very easy to relate to, even for a freshman, since anyone who has had to travel between multiple stops in one trip realizes the intrinsic problem of finding the shortest total distance for different routes. The moving animation is also helpful, since it almost exudes the idea that MATLAB is hard at work performing calculations in the background.
