About Me
My name is Robert (I go by Bobby) Plybon, and I am in the class of 2010 at Duke University, in the Pratt School of Engineering. I'm from Atlanta, Ga (not Hotlanta- no one from the ATL actually calls it that).
Name Pronunciation
Pretty much everyone knows how to pronounce "Bobby," but the "Plybon" always seems to be an issue. My family pronounces my name "Bob-ee PLY-bon," like plywood and bon-bons combined.

Favorite Demo
My favorite demo is probably the "Viewing a Penny" demo, because it is amazing to see how detailed a MATLAB plot can be. I also am amazed by the program itself, because I don't fully understand it as of now. Maybe one day...
