About Me
Hello, my name is Will Jackson and I am a freshman at Duke.
Name Pronunciation
The pronunciation of my relatively simple name depends on which side of my family you ask. My mother's family, hailing from the grand town of Tramway, North Carolina, pronounces my name "whEEl." However, the rest of the world pronounces my name "Will Jack-son."
My Favorite Demo
My favorite demo is the "Traveling Salesman" demonstration. It is very interesting how it goes through and systematically determines the shortest distance between cities before eventually settling on the correct shortest travel distance. It is also just very cool to watch operate.
