Fun Facts

Though I have been told that my story telling skills are a atrocious, I have a pretty great life story to tell. Some go my favorite memories involve feeding tigers and cuddling with kangaroos at the summer camp I work at in Tampa, FL and I really love science! Previously this summer, I was a member of Project Waves, which is a pre-orientation program at Duke University.

Matlab Help

My favorite Matlab Demonstration is the Traveling Salesman. One of my favorite hobbies is traveling, so I think it is very practical to determine the shortest route to take when traveling from one location to another so that the route taken is the most economically viable option. Determining the shortest route from point A to point B has inspired many technological advancements such as personal GPS (Global Positioning System).
