MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was Viewing a Penny. The page used four different ways to show a 3-D image of a penny, and all three were realistic and appeared similar to pictures of a penny, even though they were just recreated by MATLAB and data points. This was my favorite because it showed how MATLAB can be use to model objects to look nearly identical to their real life counterparts. Also, as we will have to be building and designing projects on computers for engineering, this page gave me a look into the different methods of modeling 3-D objects through MATLAB. Finally, I was just amazed at the small number of commands it takes MATLAB to create the images of the penny, as the commands are very powerful and do a lot on their own.
