My favorite MATLAB Demonstration was titled "Earth's Topography" under the sub-heading "Graphics." In essence, this demonstration showed sample code that allows you to use MATLAB and data from NOAA's National Geophysical Data Center in order to create a two-dimensional topographical plot, a two-dimensional and colored image plot, and a phenomenal three-dimensional and colored representation of the earth. I found this demonstration the most interesting simply because my experience with plotting data in MATLAB so far has been unfortunately limited to relatively simple two-dimensional plots of data sets. It goes without saying that I was awestruck when I realized that MATLAB could turn a set of NOAA data into a three-dimensional spherical representation of the earth in its topographic entirety complete with different colors to represent water and different altitudes as well illumination from two distinct light sources. All in all, this demonstration was not only succinctly informative but also elegantly fascinating. | My favorite MATLAB Demonstration was titled "Earth's Topography" under the sub-heading "Graphics."

Comedians
- Mitch Hedberg (see below)

My all-time favorite comedian is Mitch Hedberg (may he rest in peace). Some of his quotes include the following:
- Imagine being killed by a bow and arrow. That would suck, an arrow killed you? They would never solve the crime. "Look at that dead guy. Let's go that way."
- My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.
- I walked into Target, but I missed. I think the entrance to Target should have people splattered all around. And, when I finally get in, the guy says, "Can I help you?" "Just practicing."
- If you're watching a parade, make sure you stand in one spot, don't follow it, it never changes. And if the parade is boring, run in the opposite direction, you will fast-forward the parade.
Homework Assignment #1
Grand Challenges for Engineering
- Here is a link to an article regarding the challenge of providing global access to clean water: Water worries span the globe, Mike Lee, Sign On San Diego, Created 19 Sep 2011, Accessed 19 Sep 2011 (Provide access to clean water)
Homework Assignment #2
Phonetic Pronunciation of My Name
My name is Matthew Mallick. Phonetically, this is pronounced MATH-you MAL-lick (with the stressed syllables in all capital letters). The first syllable of Mallick ("Mal") has a short "a" sound and rhymes with pal.
