About Me

My name is Danny Goodman and I am a class of 2014 engineer at Duke University. I am studying Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering for a dual major undergraduate degree. I am also a member of the Duke University Marching Band where I play on the drumline.

Name Pronunciation

The pronunciation of my name is pretty straight forward. To make this section more interesting I will include the pronunciation of my full given name. My name is Paul Daniel Jose Goodman Marcano (the last word is my mother's maiden name). This is pronounced "P(ALL) D(ANNE)-yool ho-SAY GOOD-m(anne) mar-KAHN-o", but you can just call me Danny. That's D(ANNE)-eee.

Matlab Demonstrations

My favorite Matlab demonstration from the homework 2 assignment was the Viewing a Penny tutorial. It was very interesting to see Matlab graph such an accurate depiction of the penny from measurements taken of the height of a penny. It shows just how versatile Matlab is and how it can graph outside data sources.
