Matlab Demonstrations

My favorite demonstration from Matlab was the "Other examples" category, because it really highlighted that Matlab is so much more than a glorified calculator - it is a fully fledged program that can do very powerful things. It can create graphical windows demonstrating math problems like the traveling salesman problem and a vibrating, bending bridge truss. In these respects, Matlab demonstrates its usefulness to engineers, not just in terms of manipulating large matrices, but also in creating visualizations that can shed new light on engineering problems, and their solutions.
