| − | "If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” - Frederick Douglass | + | "If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Her favorite quotes include:
"Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations." - Henry David Thoreau[1]
"If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.” - Frederick Douglass[2]

MATLAB Demonstration
Although Kperusse found all of the MATLAB help demonstrations to be interesting, her favorite demonstration would have to be "Viewing a Penny." It was intriguing to see how different the outcomes of the plotting techniques were, even though all of the plots used the same measurements. The surface plot with a colormap was the most fascinating, since the final plot did not look like Kperusse expected it to look like. It was very impressive to view the range of MATLAB's different plotting techniques.
