About Me

My name is Kushal Seetharam. I'm a prospective ECE/Physics major along with a potential neuroscience minor.

Pronouncing my name

Most people pronounce my name incorrectly. In fact, I actual mispronounce my own name when introducing myself to people who I don't think will be able to say it. People will either put the stress on the 'u' or the 'a' in my first name. My first name actually has no stresses. The way most people pronounce my name is Ku-shal (coo(as in cooing a baby)-shawl (as in the blanket-like item that people wear). My last name is a little bit easier to pronounce: See-tha-ram (Sea-tha-raam (the raa is like the wro part of wrong).

MATLAB

My favorite MATLAB demo is the Differential Equations in MATLAB demo which discusses initial value problems, boundary value problems, and partial differential equations. I like this demo because I am currently in Math 108 - Differential Equations and learning how to work with them in MATLAB is useful.
