About Me
My name is Darshana Jaint, but I usually go by Darcy. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and I believe very strongly in my faith and am happy and willing to discuss it with others. I hope to leave on a mission in about a year. I was born in India, and I am also deeply connected to my Indian culture.
I am a freshman in Trinity College at Duke as of the spring of 2014. I really enjoy working with computers and programming in general. I also have a deep seated interest in physics and answering the pressing philosophical questions of the world. I'm a double Physics/ECE major (or, I will be once I transfer into Pratt).
Name
My first name is Darshana (all three "A"s are pronounced like in car with the emphasis on the second syllable sha), but at Duke I go by Darcy (pronounced like Mr. Darcy's name, from Pride and Prejudice). My surname, Jaint, is pronounced as in faint but with a "J".
Classes
This semester, I am taking four classes:
- Physics 361, Intermediate Mechanics
- Engineering 103, Computational Methods in Engineering
- Writing 101, We the People and the Boundaries of Democracy
- Math 356, Elementary Differential Equations
Grand Challenges for Engineering
