Homework 2

You pronounce my name "Daria Nesterovich" as Dar-EE-ah Nest-er-OH-vich

I found certain demos to be interesting because of the subject and the practical application of matlab. An example of this would be the Loma Prieta Earthquake demo. Even though I thought it wasn't possible for me to really understand the code behind the program, I could follow how it successfully analyzed and plotted the data from the earthquake. Then there were other useful ones such as the the 2-D and 3-D plot demos that explained various types of graphical representations of data from simple scatter plots to a surface plots. Overall, my favorite demo was the 3-D drawing one because it was interactive and it rendered a 3-D image from the 2-D lines that I drew. It demonstrated how through the code, math and user input could be combined to design an object.
