Hi. My name is Jake Herb.

I am from Barrington, IL. I enjoy hiking and running, and I am having a great first couple weeks at Duke.

Have you heard about the Grand Challenges for Engineering? I found a stimulating article that connects "engineering better medicines" and "preventing nuclear terror."

[1], Meghana Keshavan, MedCity News, September 12 2014, September 15 2014 (preventing nuclear terror and engineering better medicines)

The Pratt Pundit demonstration Mathematics: Optimization was my favorite. I was intrigued by the different command that MATLAB has built in to calculate the maximum and minimums of different functions. Commands 'optiget' and 'optiset' struck me as particularly useful.

Thanks, have a great day.
