Name pronunciation

My name is fairly easy to pronounce: Anthony Otieno Olawo is pronounced AN-tho-ni o-ti-YENO o-LA-wo. My middle name-according to my culture- means that I was born in the night, while my last name is from my father. As far as I know it doesn't have any relation to the time of the day in which he was born.

Demo I found most interesting

I found the '3D life' demonstration most interesting as it shows how a complex mathematical model can be simplified. I've had a keen interest in mathematical models ever since the first time I encountered differential equations. The successful application of mathematics to explain and even predict behaviour of real life systems, especially living systems eg. ecological systems, just goes to show how closely linked the cosmos is to mathematics as a discipline. This is a link I look forward to exploring much farther in depth.
