My favorite MATLAB demonstration is the 3-D Plot demonstration because it seems to be the most useful model for real-life situations. Since the world is 3-D and not 2-D, a 3-D model would be more relevant...plus, 3-D plots look so much cooler than 2-D plots, so that's definitely an advantage.

About Me

My name is Preston Cotnoir. I went to high school in Milton, GA and am now a freshman at Duke University. In my free time, I enjoy running, skiing, hanging out with friends, watching movies, and listening to music. I plan on majoring in Biomedical Engineering and going on the Premed track.

My Name

My first name is pronounced: PRESS-TUN (2 syllables and a stress on the "s"). My last name is pronounced: COT-NUHR (2 syllables and a stress on the "t").
