I enjoyed doing the Earth's topography tutorial the most in matlab.  The idea of taking a 2D graph and turning it into a 3D globe was pretty amazing.  What really interested me was that this was not just a simple 3D graph with the normal x, y, and z coordinates.  In this program, there was the additional component of topography, represented by props. Also I learned that we are able to literally light up our graphs, which is probably going to provide me with some entertainment in the future.  Finally, I am most impressed with the fact that we all have access to all the coordinate points that make up a world map.

About Me

Hey! I am a freshman at Duke University. I live in Alspaugh(whooo!). I dance (Indian mostly), sing (though not trained), and play the ukulele and flute. I am a a proud nerd and love learning new things. I hope this post works. *crosses fingers*

Note: My name is pronounced exactly the way it looks with more emphasis on "Nish".

BYEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
