MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration was Viewing a Penny. I was particularly in awe of this one mainly because it just furthers the truth that there is a mathematical basis for everything. It also opened my eyes to MATLAB and its myriad of uses. It acts as motivation to learn how to properly use this program and apply it to engineering, because I find it very compelling that there are people out there that have the skills to mathematically model almost anything we encounter during our daily lives.
