My favorite demonstration was the "Basic Matrix Operations" demonstration.  It was very insightful and was extremely helpful in improving my understanding of matrices and how MATLAB utilizes these matrices.  Also, it is interesting to learn about the basics of MATLAB and the necessity of using matrices correctly to program effectively.

My favorite demonstration was the "Three-Dimensional Knot" demonstration.  I really enjoyed it because it truly shows the extent of MATLAB's application to so many different things.  Also, it reinforces my appreciation and liking of engineering because it shows me that there are so many things that I will be able to do.  This small demonstration proves to me why I wanted to go into engineering in the first place; almost any thought or idea can be created through the use of technology.
