Homework 2: MATLAB Demonstrations
- My favorite MATLAB demo is the version of Conway's Game of Life. It is a cellular automaton, where an initial condition is set, and the result is then observed. Each cell is either "alive" or "dead" and changes states depending on the condition of surrounding cells, resulting in fascinating shapes and animations. It is interesting how MATLAB is able to run the calculations more efficiently than the original program. by using sparse matrices.
