MATLAB Demonstration

My personal favorite demonstration in the MATLAB documentation is entitled "Controlling Random Number Generation." I think the concept of randomness has been hotly debated for some time, and so I think when using MATLAB's built in random functions, it is nice to know how outputs are formulated. This section not only discusses how random numbers are generated (as it turns out, it is based on a time-dependent "seed" value), but it also develops some methods with which to control this process for various applications that require more "random" randomness.
