About Me
I am a prospective BME/ME dual major first-year. I come from the outskirts of Chicago, IL.
Current Courseload
EGR 103: Computational Methods in Engineering
This is the course for which I am making this wiki article. As of now I have very little idea of what to expect from this course in the future; we've only begun a very general introduction to the use of LaTeX and MATLAB.
EGR 121: Engineering Innovation
This is a Mechanical Engineering foundation course, my class has about 20 students in it and is therefore laid-back to a certain degree. I have nothing but high expectations from this course. The professor, Dr. Simmons, is phenomenal.
BIO 201: Molecular Biology
While molecular biology and the interface between chemistry and biology are the most fascinating aspects of science to me, this 320-person lecture is daunting. I'm one of the sixteen freshmen in the course this semester and it seems overwhelming at the moment. The lab sections I look forward to, however, as I've had that experience before and relish doing genetic work in a microbiological lab.
MATH 216: Linear Algebra and Differential Equations
This course is a repeat of one I took last year through a program with a local community college so I anticipate it to be a little easier than the rest of my load. The professor is Dr. Bray and while he may have some quirks in his speech/mannerisms, he is quite interesting to listen to and very helpful with any questions.
Homework Set 1
Homework 1
For this assignment I am posting a link to this[1] article about the first Challenge, "make solar energy economical." The article presents a different approach to solar energy: artificial photosynthesis.
Homework 2
My favorite demo in MATLAB is the one on the Loma Prieta Earthquake.[2] This was the most interesting demonstration for me because I never was able to visualize the actual movement or displacement of land in an earthquake. It was very interesting to see MATLAB take the seismometer data and create a plot of the displacement and annotate the plot with dots that help visualize the velocity of the ground throughout the quake.
