About Me

Hailing from Parkland, Florida, just an hour north of Miami, Edward Yin is an avid fan of the Miami Heat, who happened to recently win an NBA championship. Earned, not given, by the way. He is also a supporter, albeit not nearly as avid, of the Miami Dolphins (Lack of enthusiasm stems from the inability to make the playoffs. Ever. Also because they were very nearly the first team in the history of the NFL to end with a 0-16 record, which hilariously happened to the Detroit Lions the very next season). Edward is a die-hard fan of Bill Belichick and Tom Brady (The best quarterback in history of the NFL. Who else throws 50 touchdown passes in a single season? Seriously).

Edward loves to eat. If you ever need something from him, the best way to approach him would be to come with a food offering, preferably Asian food because his taste buds are identical to those of a Chinese FOB.

Name Pronunciation

Edward Yin. I'm not sure if there's more than one way to say it.

Personal Life

It's called personal for a reason. Go read TMZ or something...

MATLAB Demos

My favorite MATLAB demo is the inversion of matrices, because I used to work with matrices in math competitions and would quite often have to find inverses, which was tedious. I never thought matrices could be represented graphically, so the MATLAB demo for the inversion of matrices showed me a whole knew way in which this could work. I find it really interesting how numbers can be represented by colors on a grid.
