My favorite Matlab demonstration was "Viewing a Penny." It was very surprising and interesting to learn that Matlab can load the information (topography, color) pertaining to a penny and display it on a set of axes in great detail. It was very intriguing to view the penny in the graph with the different elevation lines, where the lines are so precise that you can clearly tell that it is a map of a penny.
