My favorite MATLAB demonstration is "Viewing a Penny" in the Graphics section. I was first enticed because the graphics are so vivid and enticing. When I then read the program, I was impressed that the data used is actually taken from the measurements made at the National Institute of Standards and Technology from the mold used to mint a U.S. penny. Once the file containing this data, penny.mat, is loaded, the program is actually relatively simple, with only three or four lines of commands for each plot. This is my favorite demonstration because I learned that MATLAB can be used with real-world data and relatively few commands to create what appear to be incredibly complicated, intriguing images. I am excited to learn to use such a progressive computing environment.
