MATLAB Demos

The MATLAB demo that I found most interesting was the viewing of the penny. I found it fascinating how MATLAB could be utilized to map the topography of something on the smaller scale such as a penny. I also find this interesting as it utilizes 3D graphing which is a subject I am currently studying in Math 103.
