Matlab

Matlab has been an essential part of Juan's education as a mechanical engineer. His favorite Matlab demonstration involved 2-D and 3-D Graphs. It demonstrated to him the unique abilities Matlab has and the wide extent for which its functions can be used. Juan quoted this experience as follows: "To plug-in numbers and see them come together into a 3-D graph is truly a unique feeling."
