About Me
Hello! My name is Samantha Whitt. No, I am not white. I am actually Chinese and born in China. Disclaimer: I know Spanish and Filipino but not Mandarin or Canto. I went to Collins Hill High School in Suwanee, GA and graduated! I live in the best dorm, SouthGREAT.
My Name
My American name is Samantha or suh-man-thuh, but people normally call me Sammy or Sam. My Chinese name is Ning, Mei Xian, which is what I get called only when things are serious.
Interests
I love learning new languages and cultures and will always be down for photographing aesthetic things. Also, I love basketball! Planning on tenting. I like all kinds of music, both listening and performing, and all forms of art. Part of the DSO family!
Current Courses
As a Pratt student, I figured out that I have 22 credit hours... But please come visit me at the Lilly Library from 11pm-2am for all those late night studying times :)

MATLAB Demonstrations
My favorite was the Coder/Decoder in the Other Examples section because it reminded me of those coding/secret messages game when one person would think of a word to use as the key and the other would try to decode based on the new alphabet of the word. Although the demonstration was not as advanced as a word, the user could shift the code based on the starting letter, which I found both intriguing and fun. The pattern is simple, but it is fun to use if code talking to friends.
