About Me

I'm a freshman at Duke University, planning on majoring in Biomedical Engineering!


Name Pronunciation

I think my name was supposed to be "Pauline" but my parents misspelled it, so now it's Polin. It is pronounced "Po-leen" like tramPOLINe.

Matlab Demonstrations

My favorite Matlab demonstration was the example with the Klein Bottle. I liked this demonstration in particular because it demonstrates how useful Matlab is to help us visualize complex shapes. The Klein Bottle is in itself a fascinating object so the fact that Matlab is able to produce the shape in relatively few steps is very impressive to me.
