MATLAB Demonstration

Of the MATLAB tutorials and demos assigned, I particularly enjoyed the one on the Loma Prieta earthquake. They took data from accelerometers and then integrated the information twice to find the position of a point in 3-D space. They then generated a three dimensional graph from the translated data. I like how they clearly showed the steps in transitioning from a raw data set into the final 3-D graph, and how this example analyzed real world data in a useful way.
