MATLAB Demonstrations/HW2
My favorite demonstration in MATLAB was the Lorenz Attractor. Over the summer I read a book about Chaos Theory that talked a lot about the Lorenz Attractor, because in many ways it was the starting point to Chaos. I'm fascinated by Chaos Theory and it's always interesting to watch the Lorenz Attractor graph in motion, and to see the particle spin around the two attractors for a while, only to suddenly jump out into a totally different path.
