Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the 3-D drawing. I find it fascinating that you can just enter a shape and the program will turn it into a 3D shape. I can see how useful this is in the real world for creating devices in any engineering field. I hope I have the chance to use the 3D drawing for real one day.
