Favorite MATLAB Demo
My favorite demo is Visualizing Sound. The command xpsound demonstrates MATLAB's sound capability. I learned from reading the demo that it is useful for viewing audio files graphically. I think it is interesting that a math program, like MATLAB, can easily translate audio files into graphics.
