MATLAB Demonstrations

For me, it was extremely interesting learning about how MatLab handles matrices, and how we, as users, can use the powerful commands to manipulate the matrices. These commands, according to "Matrix Manipulation," are truly very simple. There's commands as simple as "eig" to find the value of a matrix that I don't even understand yet. And I can't say I understood what the Loma Prieta Earthquake Demonstration was talking about, but MatLab took very simple-looking commands and spit out a highly complex analyzation of just a matrix of data.

Also, in the "Creating 3-D plots" demonstration, it was ridiculous seeing how well MatLab is able to interpret data and make easier-to-understand visuals. As a student just starting to learn Multi-Variable Calculus, being able to visualize 3-dimensional data is difficult, but this program gives me many ways to see and understand data. Very cool.
