Grand Challenges

I was especially interested in the article concerning genetic medicine. I have been interested in genetics since high school, and genetic medicine seems like an exciting, high-risk-high-reward field.

My Favorite MATLAB Demonstration

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was the "Game of Life." I liked how the game was very simple, yet highly original. I also liked it because I have no idea of how to make two-dimensional images, much less how to make them move in a mathematical game, and it motivated me to study EGR103 so I can soon be capable of doing so. In addition, I was taken by surprise when a white window with black dots reminded me of how greatly my life is affected by external environments.
