About Me
I'm Sahil, a freshman at Duke University planning majoring in both Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science. I Grew up in Austin, Texas with one older sister who is currently in her final year at the Duke University School of Law. My interests outside of the classroom include playing soccer, football, basketball (although I'm no good), tennis, table tennis, Ultimate Ping, and essentially any other sport that involves rackets. When I can I enjoy reading the newspaper, specifically the New York Times, delving deeper into areas of personal interest, going on adventures, and pretending to be sociable.
Pronunciation
My name may seem slightly difficult to pronounce at first, but in realty it's quite simple. When I find people struggling to pronounce my name properly I tell them to practice the phrase "I saw a hill" and, generally speaking, the pronunciation of my name becomes immediately obvious.

MATLAB Demonstrations
I found the included demonstration on 3-D Plots and 3-D Surface Plots to be the most interesting. Being able to generate 3-dimensional plots will allow me to properly visualize functions that operate on multiple variables (in \(\rm I\!R ^ 3\), \(x\) and \(y\)), manipulate them, and generate a meaningful output (in \(\rm I\!R ^ 3\), \(z\)) as is often the case with equations used in real-world applications. Although a 3-D plot would only be able to fully represent a function of two variables, MATLAB's ability to trace contour lines allows for more simple visualization of functions operating in higher dimensions.
