About Me

My name is Kathryn Vera, but everyone usually calls me Kat :) I love soccer, working out, kickboxing, sports games, reading, Harry Potter, game nights, rainy days, thunderstorms, singing, playing guitar, dancing, and learning new things. As of right now I'm a BME major, hopefully combined with Neuroscience somehow, or maybe even ECE, MechE. We'll see! I can't wait to keep meet people not only in Pratt but in Duke as a whole. I love it here!

MATLAB Help and Demos

My favorite MATLAB demonstration was found in the Mathematics section titled "Linear Algebra," and then a subsection called "Linear Equations." MATLAB can help you solve systems of linear functions! I thought it was really interesting how it functioned practically more efficient than even my calculator. It can deal with square systems, overdetermined systems, etc. I just really enjoyed seeing how you could format all of the Math functions to have MATLAB "spit" back answers of such intense problems.
