Arawai aka Sam Kelly is a student from the great country of New Zealand.

Accent

A New Zealand accent is intruiging for Americans. It sounds similar to an Australian accent but definitely isnt the same.

Examples

  • NZers say "pin" like "pn" (no vowel)
    • Australians say "pen"
  • NZers say "water" like "worta" (dont finish words)
  • NZers say "fish and chips" like "fush and chups" (apparently) (short "i" becomes short "u")

Interests

Sam likes to get outside with hobbies such as flyfishing, SCUBA Diving, camping, and waterskiing. He played cricket in New Zealand.

MATLAB Demonstration

The Travelling Salesman demonstration was my favorite demonstration as it shows a real world problem (not necessarily obviously mathemnatical like a bridge) and optimises it with math.
