My favorite MATLAB demo is titled "Displaying Topographical Data"; it shows different ways to map out the earth's surface.  I liked this demonstration because it was an interesting way to apply MATLAB graphing concepts that I have been reading about to real life geographic scenarios.  I also liked that it started out with the most simple 2D graph of the earth, then moved on to a color map with depth, and then finished with a 3D representation of a spherical earth.  I had not realized that MATLAB had so many real world applications that did not strictly apply to the math world.

About Me

Hi! I'm a freshman in the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University interested in Biomedical Engineering(but not pre-med). I am from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and I am a coxswain on the men's club crew team at Duke.

MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB demo is titled "Displaying Topographical Data"; it shows different ways to map out the earth's surface. I liked this demonstration because it was an interesting way to apply MATLAB graphing concepts that I have been reading about to real life geographic scenarios. I also liked that it started out with the most simple 2D graph of the earth, then moved on to a color map with depth, and then finished with a 3D representation of a spherical earth. I had not realized that MATLAB had so many real world applications that did not strictly apply to the math world.
