Favorite Matlab Demo
I liked the demos and the help pages because they allowed me to better understand the basics of Matlab. I especially liked the Graphing 2-D and 3-D plot demos because they assisted me with plotting which is a crucial part of Lab 4. This is because this lab requires us to make several plots. Therefore, I will certainly reference these demos as I begin this assignment.
