MATLAB Demonstrations:
Particularly, I enjoyed the demonstrations that were related to building matrices and then manipulating such. The graphs that arose from one matrix, its inverse and then the multiplication of both (generating an identity matrix composed of zeroes and ones) were interesting. Solving simultaneous equations greatly rely on functions like this. However, my favorite graphic display was either the "Cruller" or the "Four-linked Tori." Those reminded me of solids of revolution, a topic in calculus I, that can be solved in a much smoother fashion using the techniques in MATLAB. The same goes for quiver, a vivid representation of what I studied to be slope field lines.
