About Me

My name is Anthony Diaz. I am in the class of 2015 at at Duke University. My hometown is Katy, TX, where I went to school at Cypress Springs High School and Cypress Lakes High School.

I live in Gilbert-Addoms dorm and play in a few intramural sports teams with a few other Pratt students: Michael Cogo, Matt Hendricks, Kevin Rozell, Lucas Rose, Kyle Bhatia, Thomas Lang, John Anderson, Negatu Asmamaw, and Isaac Fraynd -- THE Panama All-Star American Football team's ALL-STAR center.

I'm really happy to be at Duke and excited to meet and get to know everyone here.

Favorite Demonstration

The 3-D Plots demonstration was my favorite because I am just really fascinated by how developed MATLAB is and how besides just showing one 3-D plot, it can render multiple of different kinds for different applications/uses/data/I-don't-even-know-yet. One thing I'm really interested in is math, and I think MATLAB, in particular when modeling expressions in these kinds of ways, helps show the significance of math on a level past the numbers and equations we practice in class -- which is great.
