Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite demonstration is the Traveling Salesman example because it models a common yet difficult problem: Determining the fastest route between a series of points. It applies Dijkstra's algorithm, which is the algorithm implemented in Google Maps and the algorithm used to determine UPS delivery truck routes. The algorithm is very computationally difficult as the number of options grows, so seeing such an application run is nice.
