Hello world!

This is Addison!

About me

My name is Addison, I'm from New Orleans, but now I'm a proud member of the Duke Pratt Class of 2018! I like food and the outdoors. Also running and biking and photography. And food. And the outdoors. I plan to study Electrical and Computer Engineering and Computer Science.

Go Blue Devils! #GTHC #DDMF #Duke2018

Pronunciation

  • My first name, Addison, is pronounced "add" (like the math term) + "i" (like the beginning of "igloo") + "son" (yup, like "son"), so "Addison".
  • My last name, Howenstine, is pronounced "how" (like "how?") + "en" (like the letter 'n') + "stine" (rhymes with "pine"), so "Howenstine".

Homework Assignments

HW1. Grand Challenges for Engineering

U.S. at risk of cyberattacks, experts say, CNN, updated 18 August 2008, accessed 14 September 2014, (Secure Cyberspace)

HW2. MATLAB Demonstrations

I found the Traveling Salesman demonstration extremely interesting and practical. Though it seemed quite difficult to program, it does a great job of showing the direction of the class and programing in general towards many extraordinarily practical uses.
