Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

I enjoyed the Bending Truss demo, it may have been very simple but it really appeals to me that I will be able to use code and to create a graphic that in practice may be used to determine how structurally sound a bridge is. In essence I like the demo because it is the real life application of mathematical principles;.
