Name Pronunciation
My name, Emily Tucker, is pronounced EH-mih-lee TUK-ur. It is basically pronounced how you would expect it to be pronounced, pretty simple!
Favorite MATLAB Demonstration
My Favorite MATLAB Demonstration was the Logo. I found it interesting to see the code behind the logo that comes up every time we open MATLAB. I also thought it was interesting to see how MATLAB can create three-dimensional figures as if taken with a camera by using light and color. It was intriguing to attempt to examine the code so as to see how they simulated two lights on the figure as well as faded colors in out. I found it very interesting that it was almost as if they were taking a picture using pieces of code that used the word "camera" to identify a command.
