About Me

I am a first-year student at the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University, (probably) majoring in Electrical & Computer Engineering.

MATLAB Demonstrations

My favorite MATLAB demo is "Displaying Complex Three-Dimensional Objects" under the "Graphics" section and "3-D Plots and 4-D Visualization" subsection. This demo shows how to create a 3-D object in MATLAB, specifically a teapot. Reading through this demo, it was interesting to see the possibilities that exist when it comes to plotting in MATLAB. In addition to simple 2-D curves and 3-D surfaces, highly complex 3-D shapes can be created using the program.
