About Me

Hello! My name is Samantha Whitt. No, I am not white. I am actually full Chinese born in China. Disclaimer: I know Spanish and Filipino but not Chinese. I went to Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, GA and graduated with a GED!

My Name

My American name is Samantha or suh-man-thuh, but people normally call me Sammy or Sam. My Chinese name is Ning, Mei Xian, which is what I get called only when things are serious.

Interests

I love learning new languages and cultures and will always be down for photographing (and eating) aesthetic things. Also, I love basketball! Planning on tenting. I like all kinds of music, both listening and performing, and all forms of art. Part of the DSO family!

Current Courses

As a Pratt student, I figured out that I have 22 credit hours... But please come visit me at the Lilly Library from 11pm-2am for all those late night studying times :)

MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite was the Coder/Decoder in the other examples because it reminded me of those coding or secret messages game where one person would think of a word to use as the key and the other would try to decode based on the new alphabet. Although the demonstration was not as advanced as a word, the user could shift the code based on the starting letter, which I found both intriguing and fun. The pattern is simple, but it is fun to use when talking to friends.
