What it is to be Jared Alosio
Well well, where do we begin? Hello there, my name is Jared Alosio. I'm currently a student at Duke University who is studying Biomedical Engineering. To be Jared Alosio is to eat every type of food and enjoy it; to try overly hard in every sport and perform averagely in most of them; to listen to every type of music (except for Country); to think math tests are fun; and to be an excellent hug-giver. Yes, 'tis true.
Grand Challenges of Engineering
According to my EGR103 professor, I should post a link to an article that involves one of the Grand Challenges of Engineering. I read some articles on all of the grand challenges of engineering, and they're rather interesting. In my research, I stumbled upon an article about reverse engineering the brain article, which can be found at the following link:

MATLAB Demos
In the program MATLAB, - a computing program (once called a "glorified calculator" by my EGR103 professor, Dr. G)that records data as matrices and can regurgitate this data as plots, statistical models, etc. - there are demonstrations that explain the workings of MATLAB as well as some programs and functions found in MATLAB. The most interesting program that I found in the demos is the game of Life, made by the mathematician John Conway. This demo introduced me to a mathematical model of the 0 player game of Life which I had not heard of before. This stimulated my intrigue enough to lead me to research how the game is played and to watch MATLAB perform the game for several minutes. At the end, the game concluded with an endless cycle of small groups of cells dying/being reborn. This will, indeed, prompt my further research of this mathematical game.
