Name Pronunciation
My name is Mia de Leon and it is pronounced "me-uh" as in the pronoun me and the noise you make when you are confused. My last name is pronounced "deh leh YON" similar to saying "day lay own".

MATLAB Demonstration
My favorite MATLAB demonstration is "Earth's Topography" in the Graphics section. I enjoyed this demonstration because it showed how the aspects of MATLAB's graphic capabilities can be used for real world applications. The data used is from the National Geophysical Data Center, NOAA US Department of Commerce under data announcement 88-MGG-02, so the topography display produced is representative of actual data. I found this demonstration to be interesting because it shows how MATLAB graphics work and also how MATLAB functions can be applied to real life situations.
