Matlab Demonstration

The most interesting of all the Matlab demonstrations has to be "Earth's Typography". This particular example shows not only the diversity and processing power of this software, but also its application to real life. By taking only data points arranged in matrices, Matlab can run through a series of code to make the data exist on a two-dimensional map, and it can then use further data, in astoundingly few and simple lines of code, to make accurate and understandable graphs in three dimensions. While much of the code in other demonstrations went way over my head, this particular one clicked. I know I have on the screen before me a master-of-the-trade's tool of choice; maybe one day I'll understand it.
