About Me

Hello, my name is Alex Sheu.

I am a freshman from the Class of 2018 that was born in California but raised in Taiwan for the entirety of my life. Due to this, I am able to speak both English and Chinese fluently. My interests include sports in general, learning new languages and meeting more people.

MATLAB Demonstrations

Regarding the MATLAB demonstrations, my favorite example was a tie between the page on Earth's Topography and the page on Viewing a Penny. I liked these two graphic demonstrations because to me, it is amazing how a program such as MATLAB is able to create such vivid depictions of both a real life object (the penny) and the geography of the globe. In terms of Viewing a Penny, it was fascinating to see the sense of depth and perception created by the contour plots that I would have otherwise thought impossible for a program like MATLAB. In a similar sense on the Earth's Topography page, I was impressed by how three dimensional each image produced by MATLAB looked. To this end, these two graphic demonstrations were definitely the ones that I liked the most.
