How to Say Faraz Yashar

Fuh-rawz Yuh-shar Italics indicate the stress.

Brief Bio

I was a sperm and egg, then I was a zygote. Before you knew it I was a freshly hatched fetus, and by the magic of nature, I turned into a five-foot-four crazy man after a few years.

I Don't Like MatLab, and You Shouldn't Too

MatLab is expensive for poor college students like me and costs the university unnecessary monies. It's pretty rigid in its functionality as well. Why not consider something awesome like Python? It's open source, free, cross platform, and absolutely incredible for so many use cases, Python is also just as easily readable and code-able as MatLab. Afraid of loosing plotting functionality? You can pop in a package like matplotlib, NumPy, and SciPy.

All of these packages offer an incredible amount of versatility to Python's incredibility.

Support the revolution! Support free and open software and saving the university some cash! It'll be a cool opportunity to learn a language that has so many use cases. Even Google makes extensive use of Python and promotes it's usage in their AppEngine for building web apps on their cloud.
