Tokyo Ghoul.

About Lucy

Lucy is a professional anime fan and writes for the satire site Anime Maru. When not working on copious amounts of homework, learning different programming languages, or looking at the ceiling of her room inspecting for bugs, she can be found on her laptop perpetually. She does not like the daylight but encounters it tragically on a daily basis. Lucy's goal at Duke is to convert the student population to anime-ism without any scandals and dissent, but realizes that this may only be possible through a totalitarian regime. Which is far too much effort so she simply sits in her dorm watching on her laptop, waiting for the change to spontaneously happen (this is what is called a passive approach).

Nevertheless Lucy is pleased to say that there is a strong anime niche in Pratt. Which was the sole reason why she ever entered Pratt in the first place.

“The world, after all, was still a place of bottomless horror. It was by no means a place of childlike simplicity where everything could be settled by a simple then-and-there decision.” ― Osamu Dazai, No Longer Human
Kara no Kyoukai.
"In the past no one has tried to fly using only human power. The words "Fly" and "Fall" go together. But the more one concentrate on flying, most forget that detail. As a result, you end up flying above the clouds even after death. Without falling down, but as if you fell into the sky."― Touko Aozaki, Kara no Kyoukai Overlooking View

Favorite MATLAB demo

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the 2D Plots graphics demonstration. The information it taught was quite practical and straightforward, but critical to future uses of MATLAB. Simply knowing how to establish the x-values and y-values of a graph and labeling both axes already makes MATLAB extremely useful. The demonstration also explains specific graph types such as a bar plot of a bell shaped curve or a stairstep plot of a sine wave in greater detail, another critical bit of information that I will likely need to reference in the future. There is no excess of explanation, instead leaving the example code and result for the reader (me) to interpret. Considering how straightforward the code was, this was an optimal method of information demonstration.

It was also nice to see the code for 2d graphs utilize principles that I already learned, such as the start:step:end. In fact, drawing (or more accurately, coding) 2D graphs in MATLAB is so similar to what I'd normally type in a graphing calculator that it doesn't quite feel like a programming language like java or python (although, granted, in many other aspects they are very similar).
