I am a member of the Duke University class of 2019 and plan to major in Mechanical Engineering. Prior to attending Duke, I lived in Fayetteville, North Carolina and attended the Fayetteville Academy. My interests include drawing, creative writing, and music, which is why I joined the Duke University Marching Band. I also love to travel, especially to Latin American countries because of my ability to speak, write, and understand Spanish.

My favorite of the MATLAB demonstration from Homework 2 is the Game of Life.

My favorite of the MATLAB demonstration from Homework 2 is the Game of Life. I believe that "stencil operations" seen in this example are extremely useful, and I think it is incredible how MATLAB can keep track of the information for such a large amount of cells at one time. I also like to picture each cell in Conway's "Game of Life" as a person, or perhaps the entire group as a civilization, making the simulation much more interesting to observe by acting like it has a story behind it.
