− | What's up everyone, I'm Mark Gockowski (Mark GO-cow-ski, like a cow with two pieces of wood attached to its feet). This is pretty cool and a little weird but I'm enjoying myself. I hope you enjoy.

− | As far as the Matlab Demos go, I'd have to say that the 2-D plots and 3-D plots were tied for my two favorites. I liked the 2-D plots demo because, firstly, it is very practical in lots of applications, and, secondly, my hallmates were struggling with Econ graphs in Excel the other night and my RA (who is also an engineer) and I showed them how to produce the same graph in a quarter of the time in Matlab. I liked the 3-D plots demo because it gave me more insight into how to, well, plot things in 3-D. This is particularly useful for me because I am in Math 103 and sometimes the most difficult aspect of a given problem is to visualize what a function looks like in three dimensions. If I am ever really in a bind, I can now go see the function in Matlab (and hopefully pass 103)!
