My Grand Challenges for Engineering article. This article is about the challenge of making solar energy economical. The sun provides so much energy, even on the relatively small surface area of our planet, but even that is thousands of times more than the energy that we normally would use. To harness this energy is the purpose of this challenge. Make Solar Energy Economical, National Academy of Engineering, accessed 24 September 2010 (Making Solar Energy Economical)

My name is pronounced "un-shul" - it's like "unsure" but instead of the "r" at the end, its just a "l" like at the end of "pull". The stress is on the "un" part.

The demonstration I liked most was the one on 3-D Plots. It was fun to see how MATLAB can create three dimensional surface plots much better than the small screen on my TI-89. The different colors/gradients, option of contour view, and cuts were interesting. The quiver option I read about are just like slope fields we did in BC Calculus in high school.
