About me
I am undergraduate student of the Pratt School of Engineering at Duke University (Class of 2018). Right now I am planning to major in Biomedical Engineering, but I am keeping my mind open to any other subjects that interest me. I would love to study abroad in my four years here (I am not sure where yet).
My Name

MATLAB Help and Demonstrations
My favorite MATLAB Demo was the "Sliding Puzzle," under the Other Examples section. This is a puzzle with fifteen squares, labelled 1 to 15 and sixteen slots (therefore one is empty). The objective of the game is to arrange the numbers in order (by rows, with the empty slot in the last space). I enjoyed this demo because I like the game, and also thought it was interesting that one could use MATLAB for things other than graphing, problem solving, and manipulating matrices. I liked that could look at the code for the game and try myself to create something similar. I think the sliding puzzle is interesting, as it cannot be solved if two of the squares are in the wrong place in the original position, or if one tries to arrange the squares so that the empty slot comes before the one.
